- The child learned about ratios and proportions when doubling the recipe.
One creative way to continue developing math skills related to baking is to have the child experiment with creating their own muffin recipes. They can try different flavor combinations and adjust ingredient measurements based on their preferences, practicing their math skills in the process.
