Laundry Math is Good Clean Fun

Get a household chore done and sharpen your child’s math skills at the same time! Ask your child to sort and chart the laundry—before or after washing.

While your child sorts, ask: How many socks? How many pairs of socks? How many towels? Are there more washcloths than towels? Are there fewer pairs of pants than shirts?

Have your child keep a tally of different types of laundry items. Then together, compare totals from week to week. Did the family use more towels this week than last week, or fewer?
