There is really no easier way to authentically teach math at the elementary level than through cooking. Think about all of the math you use when baking and cooking. Measurement, fractions, time…
The mantra of authentic learning is, “make it real, make it count.” Well it doesn’t get any more real than cooking!
Have fun, enjoy, and watch the learning take place! (And my total admiration to those that teach those higher-level math classes where cooking doesn’t cut it!)
