Comment on Ask HN: How do you practice math with your kids?

Comments

I would encourage you to see math as larger than computation. But rather math as a way to model the world with numbers. That way math is everywhere and has a more casual approach.

Everything that has a rate is mathematical. Water flow, mph, # of chocolate chips per cookie, etc.

Then statistics and estimation is everywhere too. About how many? What do you estimate ____ is? Is there a way we could get more accurate with the guess?

Cooking, Buildings, Traveling, eating, nature, social media has math everywhere.
