Measuring Numbers

"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."

I love this, having lived on 3 continents I have always been confronted with these issues. I still love cooking and baking 😉

So true! My scientist son loves to cook/bake as it reminds him of experiments! Great food still life, too.

Great example. I am often halving recipes which can test the brain.
June 27th, 2021  
Absolutely. I’ve often felt that when weighing and measuring etc. What were you making?

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"!

I think you've got a great Charles Eppes kind of capture here. =)

@ludwigsdiana Me too Diana! I also love to cook on my wood pellet smoker… it give such a great flavor to veggies and meats.

@craftymeg Yes… math can be challenging… thanks so much for your comment Margaret.

@theredcamera Ellen… that is so cool!

@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.

@marlboromaam thanks Mags… I had to look up the name… it has been quite awhile since we watched all those shows… now I want to rewatch them!

@samae thanks so much for your comment & fav Sarah… I just made the picture… but I am dreaming of a homemade coffee cake now:)

@dutchothotmailcom thanks Esther.

@ljmanning thanks Laura.

@jgpittenger nothing this time Jane… just the photo… it is so hot here I hate to turn on the oven.

@kvphoto No, we didn't meet until my late 20's and his early 30's. But the stories his mother tells are epic!
June 28th, 2021  
@casablanca I can just imagine… I bet some of those stories are pretty funny. I can remember a few of my own mishaps as I learned to cook and tried some different things… especially with a blender!
June 28th, 2021  
@kvphoto The mind boggles about how many thing can go wrong when using a blender LOL!!
June 28th, 2021
