At Itty Bitty Bakers, we believe every recipe is a chance to learn. In this series, you’ll find simple ways to explain the “magic” of baking to your kids—so they can see that every cupcake, cookie, and loaf of bread is a little science experiment in disguise.
Have you ever noticed how math problems always pop up when baking? From measuring ingredients to adjusting batches, every step in the process can involve some form of math. When you have kids in the kitchen, they get to practice the math they are learning in school, sometimes without even knowing it! So often kids say, "I'll never use this in life!" Baking shows them just how important math skills can be.
