- Mathematics: Baking or Cooking following a recipe with a family member
Measurement occurs in many areas of everyday life! It occurs when cooking a meal or baking a delicious treat! Measuring allows you to keep track of the amount of each ingredient you will need to create the food you eat! Following a recipe involves following measurements of ingredients.
Bake or cook something at home with a family member (Remember if you cannot do this today pick another day this week that works for your schedule)
- Select a recipe
- Look at the recipe ingredients and how much you will need for each ingredient
- Notice what you are using to measure out the ingredients needed. Notice any differences in measuring ingredients to measuring your height or measuring objects?
- Why is it important to measure while baking or cooking?
Post a picture of you baking/ cooking or your finished product! Enjoy! I will be jealous of all the delicious food!
