Mathematics - Practical Application in Cooking
20 students
This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics by encouraging practical application of mathematical concepts through real-life problem-solving, measurement, and calculations.
Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Introduction | 5 | Briefly introduce the topic of bread making, including the importance of measurements in cooking. Discuss the main ingredients and tools required. |
2 | Ingredients Overview | 5 | Present the ingredients and their quantities. Discuss how to measure ingredients correctly. Use mathematical calculations to determine the amounts needed based on a given recipe. |
3 | Measuring Practice | 10 | Allow students to work in pairs to practice measuring out ingredients for a simple bread recipe. Provide worksheets for recording their measurements. |
4 | Mixing and Preparation | 5 | Guide students in mixing the ingredients in groups. Instruct them on the process of kneading the dough while reinforcing the importance of measuring ingredients accurately. |
5 | Discussion and Reflection | 3 | Gather students to reflect on their experience. Discuss what measurements were critical and how they applied their mathematical skills. |
6 | Homework Assignment | 2 | Distribute the homework sheet, which includes a recipe and questions about measurements and conversions. Ensure students understand that they will submit it without presenting in front of the class. |
