It is not too late to sign your child up for Palo Alto – Menlo Park Mathnasium’s summer math camp. At each session, your child will go over previously learned material as well as learn new things too. We will help your child prepare for the upcoming school year so that math class will be breeze. Since most kids do not want to spend their summer doing math, treat them before or after their session to a yummy meal. A great place to eat lunch before coming to Mathnasium’s summer math camp is at Cafe Zoe in Menlo Park.They have an assortment of scrumptious lunch meals like soups, salads, grilled paninis, and fresh sandwiches. What makes Cafe Zoe so great is that on Friday they also have live music! What a great way to spend an afternoon with your child.

Here are some math questions you can ask your child while you are waiting for your food.

  1. You order a tomato, basil, mozzarella panini ($8.75) and your child orders a grilled cheese sandwich ($6.95). How much does the meal cost altogether? If you leave a 15% tip, how much does the tip cost? If tax is 9.50%, how much does tax cost? How much does the meal cost with tax and tip?
  2. If each sandwich is cut into triangles and has a base of 3 inches and a height of 4 inches, what is the area of the face of the each triangle of the sandwich. If the sandwich is 2.5 inches high, what is the volume of the sandwich including both halves.
  3. If Cafe Zoe is 2.2 miles away from Mathnasium’s summer math camp and you drive at a constant rate of 35 mph (assume no stop lights and no traffic), how long does it take you to get to Cafe Zoe?

We hope to see your child this summer at Mathnasium’s summer math camp. For more information about Mathnasium of Palo Alto-Menlo Park and other unique word problems, visit our website at  http://www.mathnasium.com/paloalto-menlopark

Since most kids do not want to spend their summer doing math, treat them before or after their session to a yummy meal. A great place to eat any meal before coming to Mathnasium’s summer math camp is at Joanie’s Cafe in Palo Alto. They have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu but they have been awarded best breakfast in Palo Alto multiple times.

Their breakfast menu includes eggs, omelets, breakfast crepes, pancakes, waffles, french toast, and more! Treating your child to breakfast not only serves as a delicious meal and fun bonding time, but your child can also brush up on their math skills. Here are some questions you can ask your child while you are waiting for their meal:

  1. You order a Toscana Omelet ($11.25), a side of bacon ($4.95), and a small latte ($3.75). Your child orders Parisian Brioche French Toast ($9.95), a side of fruit ($4.00), and hot chocolate ($2.95). How much does the order cost all together? If tax is 9.50%, how much is tax? How much is the order with tax? If you tip your server 15%, how much is the tip? How much does the meal cost with tax and tip?
  2. There are 22 hard options on the menu. Of the 22 options, 2 are a type of french toast. What is the percent chance that you order french toast? Of the 22 options, 11 are a type of omelet. What is the percent chance you order an omelet?
  3. If each omelet($11.25) comes with a side of hash browns($4.50) and toast ($2.50). How much does just the omelet cost?
