Fresh Squeezed ORANGE MATH


We saw them from our window, the vibrant orange color yelled PICK ME! PICK ME!


Moments later my daughter was hand picking oranges with her blue patterned poncho strewn over her while simultaneously using it as a catch bag for the goodies. Yes, East Coast friends, it's January and time to harvest the oranges! Before we attempted to make fresh squeezed juice from our sweet bundle, we did some wonderful MULTIPLICATION and DIVISION! Oranges strewn across our kitchen floor in groups of 3's, 4's, 5's, and 9's! We covered the whole times table in that period, while determing how much juice we would be able to make with that morning harvest!


All this before our morning cup of juice.
