How do you do it all? 

Having six children, ages 19 to 2, I am frequently asked this question.  My answer is often as multi-faceted as my life is multi-tasked.  Flip 3 Pancakes is the long answer to how I flip many pancakes with one spatula. More specifically, how I teach math and extend lessons to language, social studies, science and life skills, while preparing meals.  Immersing my children in learning, engaging their senses and applying skills to life has helped them digest what is presented, internalizing the concepts.  In the end, my children have enjoyed eating what they learned.

The kitchen is a living laboratory, demanding curiosity.  Cups of water and corn syrup can be measured, heated and transformed into one pound of hard candy.  The circular circumference of a pizza can be measured, baked and cut into fractional parts.  Cylinders and rectangular prisms sit comfortably on the pantry shelf waiting to be sorted, counted and stacked in geometric sculpture.  Children love to experience and experiment with these math wonders.  When a child’s desire to help is tapped, math skills and life skills can be taught and will be remembered because of the natural inquisitiveness which saturates the kitchen.  Children love the kitchen, a perfect place to be immersed in math.

The 85 recipes and additional add-on activities in Flip 3 Pancakes With 1 Spatula have been selected based on the frameworks of mathematical concepts taught to young children between the ages of four and eight.  Concrete in their thinking and relational in their learning, these children have unique educational needs. Foundational skills taught, learned and applied to life experiences are remembered.  The kitchen is the best place to learn essential math skills.
