Math in Kitchen

Measurements: Have kids measure ingredients, double or halve recipes, and convert units (e.g., cups to ounces). (ask If a recipe is asking for 2 cups of flour, but you want to make half of the recipe, how much flour do you need?”)

Fractions: Use cutting pizza or cake to explain fractions. (ask what is the fraction after eating 2 slices of pizza out of 12)

Time Management: Calculate cooking times and set timers. (ask how much more time it takes to make a cake as compared to a salad)

Ratio: explain ratios by cutting down measurements (the recipe is for 6 people but I want to make it for 3 people)

Skills Applied – Cooking Skills

Isn’t math everywhere but sometimes it can be hard for kids to apply math knowledge in real life. they might be able to understand the concept but might not know how we will use it. real-life application is important for such reasons. real-life application makes the child strong at math and independent and confident since they know what they are doing.

Give them problems and they will solve it using math!! make them a problem solver
