Math
- Loki practiced measuring ingredients for the sourdough starter, reinforcing understanding of fractions and proportions.
- He calculated the time needed for the starter to double in size, applying concepts of multiplication and time intervals.
- Loki observed the exponential growth of the starter, introducing the idea of exponential functions.
- He tracked and graphed the rise of the starter, gaining experience in plotting and interpreting data.
For continued development, Loki can explore the mathematical patterns and relationships in sourdough baking, such as the correlation between ingredients, temperature, and rise time. He can also create a baking log to analyze trends and make predictions about future batches based on the mathematical patterns he observes.
