Math in Cooking and Baking

Cooking Up Some Math

Recipes use measurements, fractions, and sometimes even conversions. Whether you’re doubling a recipe or cutting it in half, you use math every time you cook!

Fractions in Action

Measuring cups and spoons often use fractions, like \( \frac{1}{4} \) cup or \( \frac{1}{2} \) teaspoon.

Adjusting Recipes

If you need more or less food, you might multiply or divide amounts to get it just right.

Real-World Skills

Cooking is a delicious way to practice math skills with your family.

Examples

  • Use 3/4 cup of sugar for cupcakes.

  • Double a recipe by multiplying each ingredient.
