Thanks for sharing! It's so important that parents and educators encourage kids, particularly those without access to summer learning programs or online resources as you said, to participate in activities that keep them thinking mathematically while out of school. Research suggests that kids - particularly those in low-income areas - lose 2.5 to 3 full months of grade level math equivalency over summer break. Scary statistics, but it's great to see things like this being shared to help reduce the impact of learning decay. Thanks again! Keep up the great work.

P.S. We love the fraction sandwich idea!
