Math

• The 13 year old student has learned about measurement and conversion by following recipes that require precise amounts of ingredients. They have practiced converting different units of measurement, such as cups to milliliters or ounces to grams.
• They have applied fractions and ratios when adjusting the recipe serving size, using their math skills to calculate ingredient quantities based on the original measurements.
• The student has practiced addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division through activities like doubling a recipe, halving a recipe, or adjusting ingredient amounts based on the number of servings needed.

Encourage the student to take on more complex recipes that involve advanced math concepts, such as baking a cake with precise measurements and multiplication of fractions for doubling or halving the recipe. They can also experiment with creating their own recipes to further apply their math skills in the kitchen.
