Introduction to Percents

SpiderGirl has been interested in money ever since she was a toddler.  As she entered her preschool years, we gave her the opportunity to work with her own money through a weekly allowance.  Of course, at first, we took care of the tax.

Fun with Parchment Paper

Eating gluten-free can be expensive, especially when it comes to bread products.  Hamburger-bun molds exist for baking your own, but not at your local retail store.  That's why I use parchment paper to make my own:  Take a rectangular strip of paper and tape it around into a ring.  Voila, a hamburger bun mold!  (If you're extra nerdy, like me, measure the diameter of the burger and multiply by pi to get the length of the paper strip to use.)

But the fun doesn't end there!
