Cooking for Math! Fractions in the Kitchen Supplemental Curriculum

My daughter is a hands on learner.

She also looooves to cook, and gets a thrill from doing “adult things.”

 

So we created our Fractions in the Kitchen Curriculum to combine the Hands On, Life Skills, and Danger that kids crave!!

 

How do I use this curriculum?

The way we use it is as follows:

Each week we use the pictures and meal planner to create a kid friendly menu.

Each time we use the menu, we do our math! So it is usually at breakfast or lunch time.

We began with 1/2 and symmetry, and then slowly added in 1/4 and 1/3.

 

How do I setup a lesson with this guide?

We recommend meal planning once per week with your child, choosing 1-2 recipes per day to work on.

Then, you help your child with the recipe and use the guidelines within each recipe to discuss how it applies to math!

 

Is it a full curriculum?

It is not considered a full curriculum. It is marketed as a supplement, because it does not involve book work. However, we believe that some children thrive better when they are introduced to hands on, fun activities!

 

Do I have to follow it exactly?

No! This guide is a framework, an outline, for your studies with your kids!!

Please tag us on Instagram at @loveathomeed if you use it, so that we can see how it fits into your family!
