Baked biscuits

Math

• The child learned measurement concepts by following the recipe and using measuring cups and spoons to measure ingredients.
• Counting skills were reinforced as the child counted the number of biscuits made and the number of ingredients used.
• The child practiced fractions by dividing the dough into equal portions when shaping the biscuits.
• Basic addition and subtraction concepts were applied when adjusting the recipe based on the number of biscuits desired.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore more recipes that involve measuring and counting. You can also introduce simple word problems related to baking, such as "If we bake 12 biscuits and eat 4, how many are left?" This will further reinforce their math skills in a fun and practical way.
