Description
Classroom programs are smaller versions of our assembly programs under the same name allowing more topic detail, student focus and classroom activities. Food is a fantastic vehicle to provide an exciting learning adventure that will captivate students as they are the “STARS” in this classroom program. Students expand their discovery of the incredible world of cooking, health and nutrition through this workshop while they practically apply math into their daily lives. Students will be working with ingredients, tools and equipment in this workshop. Discussions, cooking activities and worksheets use math principles that will allow students to make sense of their world while developing life-skills to make healthier choices for their success. Students will focus on real world applications using measurements, operations, fractions, reasoning, comparison/contrast, sequencing, geometry, graphs, processes, relationships, patterns, probability and other mathematical tools. Recipe can be modified in the event of student food allergies.

Students Will
  • learn communication skills as they work together in small groups
  • work with different units of measure, fractions, weight versus volume, food costs and play at menu pricing
  • use their 5 senses to understand the real world connection between math and food
  • assemble simple dishes by using fresh ingredients, tools, and cooking techniques highlighting math in cooking
  • brainstorm budgets and use grocery lists
  • identify mathematics in use through objects, words, pictures, numbers & technology
  • learn about MyPlate, using food labels & control portion sizes, kitchen safety & etiquette
