Practical Applications
## Cooking Up Math Skills
Baking and cooking are yummy ways to practice math! You'll measure ingredients, adjust recipes, and time your cooking.
### Measuring and Mixing
Use cups, spoons, and scales to measure ingredients. Sometimes you need half or double a recipe—math helps you adjust amounts.
### Timing and Temperature
Keep an eye on the clock to bake things just right and use a thermometer for tasty results!
Examples
- Doubling a cookie recipe by multiplying all ingredients by 2.
- Measuring 3/4 cup of sugar for a cake.
