They decide what ingredients they would like to experiment with and how many of each ingredient is needed. THINK FLEXIBLY Tiggly Chef encourages your child to think flexibly about numbers and arrive at the answer in many different ways. For example, if there are 8 bits in the machine and the lab notes ask for only 5, you can subtract extra ingredients one by one (8 – 1 = 7; 7- 1 = 6; 6- 1 =5), you can take away a group of 3 in one action (8 – 3 = 5), or subtract 2 first and then take away the last extra bit (8 – 2 = 6; 6 -1 = 5) TIGGLY CHEF STICKERS To add Tiggly Chef stickers to your iMessage, tap on the App Store icon beside the chat field, tap on "Manage" tab at the top, and turn on Tiggly Chef stickers!
