"Math is in every kitchen, on every recipe card, and at each holiday gathering. The mathematics of cooking often goes unnoticed, but in reality, there is a large quantity of math skills involved in cooking and baking."
Great image and correct information on the importance of math in cooking ... A good friend's son was not taught proper math at his high school which prevented him from becoming a master carpenter. Good ending...He found a math tutor who taught him traditional math and eventually became a master carpenter.
If kids were presented that idea behind math - and its many applications - maybe we could get them more interested in learning it rather than as "just math"!
@wakelys Susan… you are right about that… I used to double recipes now the idea of halving sounds much more appealing.
@tinley23 thanks for your comment Leslie… I was making a picture for the June word numbers… it is so hot & humid here I hate to turn on the oven.
@seattlite Gloria… math really is in everything… in photography we have the halving and doubling of light with the F-Stops… shutter speed & aperture combos… then there is the choice of ISO.
@milaniet You are so right Milanie… seeing the practical applications of math is so important in motivating kids to learn.
