Math is more than numbers. Adding math into everyday activities can make it fun and more interesting for you and your children. Food is something everyone can relate to and there are many math skills that can be taught through food experiences. Children who enjoy themselves through discovery and experimentation are more likely to listen and retain information. Food can be a fun way for children to learn and the possibilities are limitless. Here are a few concepts to get you started:
- Counting
- Measuring
- Sequencing of Events
- An Understanding of Time
- Spatial Concepts
- Numbers
- Fractions
- Sorting
- Classifying
- Estimation
- Probability
- Statistics
Do you use food experiences in your classroom? Please share any additional ways you teach math concepts. I like to use books to go along with any concepts I am teaching. Visit your local library to find these or other books related to counting.
