Fractions
Idea details:
I love to bake! My mom thought it would be fun to teach me fractions. I thought, how not fun. She started showing me how all the ingredients are measured into the cups, then if we double a recipe, she will ask me what the new fraction, or measurement will be. It's so much fun pouring all the things into the bowl, and watching everything turn out right. We even try to guess, how much missed the bowl and hit the floor! I love learning my fractions this way, and eating what I made using math is cool!
