What better way to invite children into the world of math than through a delectable diet of patterns, sets, geometry, measurements, number operations, fractions, and estimations combined with a savory awareness of nutrition?

Children will "gobble up" math concepts and nutritious foods in the classroom or at home as they complete the creative activities found in Gobble Up Math. By using foods as catalysts for learning math concepts, children will:

• taste a fraction of a crisp graham cracker,
• feel the smooth circumference of a juicy red apple,
• hear the crunch while munching on a set of same-shaped cereals,
• smell the aroma of freshly popped popcorn while using the kernels to learn division, and
• see the varieties of patterns that can be created using pretzels.

Each hands-on activity uses accessible, healthy, and easy-to-prepare foods. Children can gobble up the goodies after completing each activity or save the food in containers to use later for more math fun.

It's all here, ready for students to "gobble up." Practicing math skills has never been more delicious.
