I just came across this amazing blog and I had to write a short post to share this idea with you. Bedtime Math is a site that provides parents with a daily math problem that they can do each night with their children at bedtime. The creator of the site Laura Bilodeau Overdeck posts a new problem each night. Each post includes three different levels (Wee ones, Little kids, Big kids). In addition, all the problems are connected to a real word story or issue. For example, today’s problem By the Seat of Your Pants relates to the new story about Honda’s Uni-Cub.
