• The child used basic addition and subtraction skills to adjust the sweetness of the lemonade by adding or reducing the amount of sugar.
• They practiced division by dividing the total amount of lemonade into equal servings for their family and friends.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore more recipes and engage in cooking activities that involve measurements and fractions. They can also create a lemonade stand to practice money skills by selling their homemade lemonade.
