Merge maths with holiday activities

Parents who want to keep their kids learning through the holidays may want to try new activities, such as using maths in several fun tasks that they do with their children.

The Tehran Times said that this subject - although it doesn't sound it - can be made fun by featuring it in value for money activities as diverse as baking and art.
Maths can be made an essential part of baking if kids are allowed to measure out cups and tablespoons of ingredients, showing them how this subject can be important and fun, too.

There is also an art form called Zentangle, which is all about using white and black ink to draw repetitive patterns, showing that maths can produce pretty results.

In addition, children have also been encouraged to take part in activities outdoors to keep fit and healthy. Chris Brown, co-founder of sunshine.co.uk, told mums and dads that playing with kids outdoors will also help them to create happy memories.
