Math IRL once you get more advanced
I recently had a breakthrough making math more interesting for my son by having him help me design a duck pen (how many sq feet per animal, calculating the side lenghts, etc). But he really needs more daily math for mastery.
What are some things that are fun/real that use math in a real life application that would be engaging for a 7 year old?
The biggest problem for us is that we've moved on from basic adding and subtracting. We're bored of doubling recipes. We have the basics down for division and subtraction.
The real life applications for higher math are usually specific to certain professions. Are there any engineering or carpentry projects for kids that would require him to use math? Get him into programming?
And unicorn hunting: any programs/curriculum out there that have this already put together for me?
