- Counted the number of cookies needed for the recipe
- Measured the ingredients using measuring cups and spoons
- Followed the recipe's instructions for baking time and temperature
- Divided the dough into equal portions to make the cookies
- Used a timer to keep track of the baking time
- Estimated the number of cookies that could be made with the given amount of dough
- Practiced addition and subtraction by adjusting the recipe for more or fewer cookies
Continued development related to the activity:
Encourage the child to explore different cookie recipes and experiment with different measurements and ingredients. They can also practice measuring and counting by doubling or halving the recipe. Additionally, they can create a budget for buying ingredients and calculate the cost per cookie. This activity can also be extended to include fractions by using recipes that require measurements like 1/2 cup or 1/4 teaspoon.
