My Project

By integrating cooking into math, reading, science, and social studies class, I can create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that helps students develop a more practical and applicable understanding of mathematical concepts.

The microwave will be used to cook the food that students measured and mixed in class as part of a ratios and scaling lesson.

Incorporating cooking into math class can offer several educational benefits:

Real-world application of math concepts: Cooking involves measurements, conversions, and ratios, providing students with practical applications of mathematical concepts. They can see how mathematical principles are used in everyday activities, making the subject more relatable and engaging.

Hands-on learning: Cooking is a hands-on activity that allows students to apply mathematical skills in a tangible and enjoyable way. This kinesthetic learning experience can enhance understanding and retention of mathematical concepts.
