Plan a backyard campout from start to finish: gear checklists, meal prep, a stargazing schedule, and a campfire activity plan. Kids use measurement, budgeting, time planning, and estimation to organise a real overnight adventure. Maths that ends with marshmallows.
Ages 6–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Designed by a teacher with 15 years of classroom experience, now homeschooling her own kids.
By the time a kid budgets, shops, and cooks a real meal, they have practiced more applied math than a textbook chapter — and they did it with you. That is the moment "I taught my kid something real" starts to feel possible.
