Math Talk at Home

Consider the following for building on math skills at home:
1. Math Card and Dice Games ( list and explanation of games to play)
2. Grocery Shopping - Estimation and counting of what the final grocery bill would be.
3. Cooking and Baking - fraction talk and measurement
4. Helping with a budget for a night out or a weekend away.  Adding up hotel costs, camping costs, movie costs with food. Does the total match a set budget that was set?
5.  Cutting the lawn - measurement of bags raked or filled.
6.  Party planning - calculating how much food is needed ex. sandwiches, hotdogs, etc. 
7.  Pizza night and leftovers.  How many fraction pieces to share? What if there were leftovers? How would you divide equally?
8.  Think about books/stories/poems/nursery rhymes that they have read or will read with math.  ex. 3 Blind Mice
9.  How long will it take to drive a certain distance in the car for vacation at 100 km per hour?
10.  Spot the shape in the house or out for a walk.  ex. rectangular windows and doors
