DESIGNING MATH PROBLEMS
Your child can come up with their own instructions and math problems by designing custom recipes. They decide what ingredients they would like to experiment with and how many of each ingredient is needed.

THINK FLEXIBLY
Tiggly Chef encourages your child to think flexibly about numbers and arrive at the answer in many different ways. For example, if there are 8 bits in the machine and the lab notes ask for only 5, you can subtract extra ingredients one by one (8 – 1 = 7; 7- 1 = 6; 6- 1 =5), you can take away a group of 3 in one action (8 – 3 = 5), or subtract 2 first and then take away the last extra bit (8 – 2 = 6; 6 -1 = 5)
