I don’t think I can write too often about cooking. I can’t think of an authentic activity that can inspire so many driving questions and possible authentic projects. I have written before about using cooking to teach math. But you can also teach reading through cooking. And social studies. And science…
Children need to use math to cook. But they also should be looking up and reading recipes. And how about finding special dishes that represent different cultures. Why do people eat different foods in different countries? What grows best in different locations? How does this affect what people cook with and eat? Lots of different and delicious authentic ways to go with cooking! Enjoy!
