A couple of years ago I had conducted a cookie math class at my home for a bunch of kids aged 7 to 9 years, in my social network.
I made chocolate chop cookie dough and then we played with it at the table. We did fractions and additions and subtractions and multiplications etc . We compared size & weight. All with little cookie dough balls.
And while the cookies baked we revised the same stuff on few sheets of paper.
And completed the session eating the cookies!!!!!

ReplyDeleteMy niece, Gia, aged 9 years at the time, had attended this Cookie Math Workshop with Saloni. She loved it! It's a great way to apply basic math concepts to baking - something lil girls her age love trying their hand at! 'If you can't lick em join em' comes to mind but in this case it was finger lickin' good too! What a great way to teach maths to kids - it very practically shows them how important math is in everything we do in daily life! Now that's an interesting and yummy way to learn isn't it?! - Noella Menon, Singapore.
