A while ago I saw a chart that listed everyday activities on one side, and on the other side, it listed the education value and even would turn into 'education-ese.'   We just moved to a high-regulation state, and we need to...

For a young child, I think those *are* all the fractions.  =)  I also say my two year old knows 'all' her colors even though she rarely uses aquamarine.    And I wasn't "trying to be cute", I was actually having...
