Making Pancakes

My recipe never makes enough.
Always need to double it,
triple if I want some to freeze.
My nephew is over playing X-Box with my son.
If my recipe calls for 1½ cups of flour,
and I double it, how much do I need?”
(I used to ask my kids, but they're almost grown.)
I know the answer. Does he?
Huh?”
Math word problems,
moms deal with these every day.
We shouldn't be annoyed when teachers assign them.
He's a bright kid in 6th grade.
He thought a minute, and answered, “3.”

Yes kids, moms can, and do, actually multiply and divide fractions.


Get your kids involved in your everyday things. They can learn much from you.
They might even teach you something.
