One of the adjustments of home education is that the time I used to have to get things done is now occupied with the monkeys being around. From the beginning I have used this opportunity to make them step up to the plate and help out.
Cooking is something that we always enjoyed doing together. They love to look up recipes or be given jobs- certain tasks are always deferred to them. Like peeling carrots or potatoes, chopping mushrooms, measuring liquids, dicing, stirring etc.
It is a great way to combine math with culinary art and get meals made.
