Why not add a little math into the Christmas holiday?
We all know the 12 Days of Christmas song!
And the song leaves me with LOTS of questions!
I don’t know why anyone would want all those birds, but those birds need to eat!
How many birds do you have?
And if each of those birds eat 3 worms a day, how many worms do you need to dig up today?
And I got more questions too!
Questions you can ask!
