Why do we study
math?
First of all, it’s all around us!
Secondly, here are a few examples
Can you think of a few more?
Where is math in cooking?
Measuring Spoons
Measuring Cup
Mixing Bowls
Pots & Pans
Simple Yellow Cake
Ingredients:
2 1/3 Cups All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 Cups White Sugar
1/2 Cup Shortening
2 Eggs
1 Cup Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS:
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt,
and sugar. Cut in shortening until fine
crumbs are formed. Add eggs, milk, and
vanilla. Beat at low speed for 1 minute,
then high for 2 minutes, scraping the
bowl frequently.
Pour batter into greased and floured 9x13
inch pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree F
oven (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minute
If we needed to make enough cakes to feed 200 people, how much
of each ingredient would we need, if we only
made whole cakes and we cut out 24 pieces from each pan ?
200 divided by 24 = 8+ or 9 cakes

Ingredients: 9 cakes
21 cups
9 tablespoons
6 3/4 teaspoons
1 1/2 cups
4 1/2 cups
18 eggs (approx.6 cups)
9 cups = 2 quarts & 1 cup
9 teaspoons = 3 tablespoons
How big of a mixing bowl
would we need for all the
ingredients?
Approx. 45 cups or 10+ Quarts
Many mixers, like this one, only hold
5 quarts, so we may need to mix a
batch 2-3 times.
So now do you see why we
might want to study math?
Let’s get into your study groups and “brainstorm”
some ideas for your own slide show?
We will pass out papers for your slides.
Friday, after lunch break,
we will try to input a slide or two.
