]]> Comment on Celebrating Celebrations by Suzann Wootten http://gumbootbooks.com/2010/04/30/celebrating-celebrations/#comment-6 Suzann Wootten Wed, 17 Nov 2010 17:16:35 +0000 http://gumbootbooks.ca/?p=442#comment-6 Thanks for that. We're having a big potluck party this week, kind of for Christmas I guess and I've been trying to find something special to take.. found some awesome ideas at this <a href="http://www.potluckrecipes.net/" rel="nofollow">potluck recipe </A> site. You know, someone should invent a website where you can write what you'll be taking, and it would check no one is bringing the same thing! Thanks for that.

During the planning stages, I needed to measure and draw my plans to scale using a tape measure and graph paper so I could see what cabinets could fit in what spaces. Even when shopping for my new appliances, I needed my tape measure at the store and at home to check on sizes that would fit! Most recently I was measuring for a backsplash and drawing the tile sizes on graph paper to make the design. When the square tiles were turned into diamond shapes, I even had to check my geometry to calculate the hypotenuse for the amount of tiles to order!!! Math is a very useful skill to have.

I love to recognize the patterns, to see how precisely and logically everything in our world is organized. Five little girls live in my home and not a day goes by that we do not have a "mathematical" discussion. "How big am I now?" "How old will I be in 2 years?" " May I have 1/2 an apple?" Most games and other activities are applications of math principles. Math is fun. I love Math!

I use my superbe mathematics skills to calculate the volume of the ingredients when I either increase or decrease the size of the recipe.
