Math

• The child practiced measuring ingredients using fractions, such as 1/2 cup or 3/4 teaspoon.
• They learned about conversions, for example, understanding that 16 tablespoons equal 1 cup.
• The child practiced using basic addition and subtraction skills to adjust recipe quantities or calculate baking times.
• They learned about ratios and proportions when scaling up or down a recipe.

One creative way to continue developing math skills through baking is by introducing more complex recipes that involve more advanced measurements, such as using decimals and percentages. Encourage the child to explore different units of measurements and conversions, such as grams and kilograms, to further enhance their understanding of math concepts in a practical and enjoyable way.
