Publisher's Synopsis
Turn your kitchen counter into a math playground.
Kitchen Math Lab: +, -, ×, ÷ with Play Money is a joyful, hands-on guide for parents and children to explore the four basic math operations-using coins, curiosity, and the power of play. Designed by Dr. Olaseni Fadipe (fondly known as Dr. Seni), a passionate math educator with nearly two decades of experience, this book helps families build strong number sense and problem-solving skills using simple tools found at home.
Through real-world examples, coin-sorting games, and everyday math challenges, children develop confidence in:
- Addition that makes sense
- Subtraction that feels natural
- Multiplication through grouping and coin patterns
- Division through sharing activities and real-world practice problems
Along the way, children naturally begin to build early personal finance habits like counting change, budgeting for pretend purchases, and understanding the value of money.
Whether you're a parent, homeschooler, or educator, Kitchen Math Lab offers a fresh way to connect with your child over math without relying on boring worksheets or apps. Math becomes something kids can touch, talk about, and enjoy.
Perfect for ages 6-12, and especially powerful for children who need to "see it to believe it."
