Baking with Kids: Including Math


Ingredient assignments at baking class.

Have you ever noticed how math problems always pop up when baking and cooking?⁠ With kids in the kitchen, this is a great opportunity to practice what they're learning in school.


For example, when younger school age kids attend our classes, we may throw out a word problem such as this:


If there are nine ingredients in the recipe and eight kids in the class each get assigned an ingredient, how many leftover ingredients are there?⁠💬⁠ ⁠


For older kids there are opportunities for practicing fractions such as this:⁠


If the recipe calls for one and one fourth cups of buttermilk and we need to double that, how much would that be?💬 ⁠


Whether at home with parents or in baking classes with Itty Bitty Bakers, math skills are needed!⁠


Drop your kid's answers to the questions above in the comments below (right, wrong, or funny!) and we'll send you a class coupon code!🎉

  1. one mixing thing is left

  2. i don’t know fractions mommy, but i think we need to buy some buttermilk instead of the milk in the fridge… or we can add butter to it. 🤣 you can pour it in the measuring big cups and I’ll make the cake🤣🤣🤣
