We play a game called "24". It is a card with 4 numbers and you have to use all four numbers once to get to the answer of 24. You can add, subtract, multiply or divide. My 4th grader loves it. His homework a few weeks ago was to play a few cards.
OT: Have you been out to the Whole Foods in Fair Lakes? The one that Emerill uses to film his new show? It is phenomenal. It makes yours look ordinary and mine look like a 7-11.
