- Counted the number of waffles made
- Measured the ingredients using measuring cups and spoons
- Followed a recipe with specific measurements and ratios
- Used addition and subtraction to adjust the recipe for more or fewer servings
- Divided the batter evenly into the waffle maker sections
- Used a timer to determine the cooking time for each waffle
- Estimated the number of waffles that could be made with the remaining batter
Continued development related to the activity:
Encourage the child to explore different recipes and experiment with ingredient substitutions to understand the impact on the final product. They can also practice doubling or halving recipes to further develop their understanding of ratios and proportions. Additionally, they can calculate the cost of ingredients and determine the price per waffle to learn about basic financial concepts.
