Description

This is a grade-level program where students learn to connect mathematics and cooking as they focus on mathematical objectives such as measurements, operations, reasoning, comparison/contrast, sequencing, geometry, graphs, processes, relationships, patterns, probability, and other mathematical tools while in the kitchen. Students are the "STARS" as they focus on math objectives such as measurements, operations, reasoning, comparison/contrast, sequencing, geometry, graphs, processes, relationships, patterns, probability, and other mathematical tools. Lively culinary demonstrations involving the measuring of ingredients, informative worksheets such as crosswords and word searches, which allows students to develop life-skills that will help them make healthier choices for their success as they learn how to apply math skills both in the kitchen and in their daily lives. Multiple classes and grades can be involved at one time. This program can be custom made to the specifications requested by the educators.

Students Will

  • Help measure ingredients to complete a recipe using measuring cups, measuring spoons, and ounces and compare the differences of each.

  • Recognize and solve problems with different units of measure, fractions, and weight versus volume
  • Estimate budgets, food costs and use grocery lists used in everyday situations
  • Q&A session with a chef to identify and expound upon the joys of using math outside of school
