- Measuring ingredients using fractions and decimals
- Converting units of measurement (e.g. cups to ounces)
- Using ratios and proportions to adjust recipe quantities
- Calculating baking times and temperatures
- Estimating costs of ingredients and determining the cost per serving
To continue developing math skills through baking, the child could:
- Create their own recipes and adjust ingredient quantities using math concepts
- Compare and contrast different recipes to determine which is the most cost-effective
- Experiment with different baking temperatures and times to see how it affects the final product
- Practice measuring ingredients without using measuring cups or spoons to improve estimation skills
