Focusing on the math used in everyday life can't be beat for the valuable application and problem solving opportunities it provides. The list below contains some examples to get you started, but feel free to include others.
Money usage: Plan the cost of a meal or event using the grocery store online flyer. (Most stores have online flyers weekly.)
Cooking with a recipe: Measure out ingredients, double or halve the recipe for older children...
Measuring Opportunities: Planning the seed or seedling placement in a garden, measuring growth.
Measuring for sewing or craft directions, also any remodeling plans you might be considering.
Measure/Analyze real world data and record it (longest jump, number of seashells, biggest fish, etc.)
Telling time and elapsed time: All children should become comfortable with telling time on an analog clock.
Plan how much time until an event or calculate of the length of an event.
Use and read a calendar to log summer plans.
Calculate the materials needed: Example: craft materials, if each bracelet will need a certain number of beads, and you want to make 6 bracelets, how many beads will you need to gather. Or... you have 100 in the package, how many bracelets can you make.
Go on a “shape” walk or hike and identify shapes that you see.
Make a repeating pattern using seashells, rocks, sticks or other objects.
