- Counted the number of cupcakes needed based on the recipe
- Measured ingredients using measuring cups and spoons
- Understood fractions while measuring ingredients (e.g., 1/2 cup of flour)
- Used a timer to ensure the cupcakes were baked for the recommended time
- Divided the cupcakes evenly among a certain number of friends
Continued development: Encourage the child to explore more complex baking recipes that involve measurements using larger fractions or decimals. They can learn about converting between fractions and decimals, as well as scaling recipes up or down based on the desired number of servings.
