Math
- The student practiced measurement by following precise measurements for ingredients in recipes, such as 1 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, etc.
- They applied fractions and proportions when adjusting recipes, for example, doubling a recipe by multiplying the ingredients by 2.
- The student calculated cooking times and temperatures using the conversion of units, such as converting Fahrenheit to Celsius for baking.
For continued development, encourage the student to explore more complex recipes that require precise measurements and conversions. They can also practice calculating ingredient costs and determining serving sizes for larger groups.
