americangirlstarPalo Alto – Menlo Park’s Mathnasium has a great summer planned out for your child. We want to stop “brain drain” from happening to your child by reviewing with them their old math skills as well as teaching them new skills. Mathnasium is approximately one block away from Stanford Shopping Center which means that the American Girl Doll store is nearby! Be sure to take your child after Mathnasium’s summer math camp to visit the American Girl Doll store to learn about history, check out some of the dolls, and maybe even get a bite to eat at their cafe.

americangirlstarIf your child has a doll, your child can bring them to Mathnasium’s summer math camp! This way, both your child and their favorite American Girl Doll can learn some math! We can even give your child problems that involve American Girl Dolls!

americangirlstarExample Problems:

  1. Measure the height of your doll and then measure your height. How much taller are you?
  2. Measure the circumference of your American Girl Doll. Now set the circumference equal to the circumference equation (C = 2 * pi * r) and solve for the radius of your American Girl Doll’s head.
  3. If your doll costs approximately $110. What is the cost of 3 American Girl Dolls?
  4. Your doll costs $340 including all of her outfits and accessories. How many cookies can you buy with that amount of money if each cookie costs $2.50?
  5. Your doll costs $110 without tax. How much does she cost with tax (tax =7.50%)

Next time you are at Stanford Shopping Center, take your daughter to the American Girl Store. You can get your daughter a doll and then treat her to lunch. Now, comes the fun part – math! Before treating your daughter to a wonderful day, have her approximate the total cost of the doll and her lunch. For example, an American Girl costs $110 and your daughter’s lunch will cost $15 dollars. How much money will you spend total? To make it a bit trickier, add tax to the equation! Make sure you tell your daughter that tax will be calculated separately for the doll and for lunch! Also, if you get your daughter a doll that comes with a book, you can have her calculate how many years ago the doll lived! For example, the American Girl Doll Kaya was born in the 1760s. Her story takes place in 1764. How many years ago did Kaya live?
