Cooking - Fractions

There is a strategy to teach children the numbers in fractions, or parts of a unit in the form of fractions, perhaps this strategy is easier to apply to mothers, and especially to those who like to cook.

It consists of making cookies or small cakes and allowing the child, with the proper supervision of their parents, to chop it in different proportions, such as in the middle, in quarters, in thirds, etc. and the jackpot, it would always be to eat some of the resulting portions.

In spite of being a somewhat laborious strategy, for some mothers it could be something of their daily life, and considering that any opportunity is good to teach, this could be an entertaining way to teach your children or other children.

What do you think about it?
 
It's indeed a good way to teach children, but you gotta understand that some might have a talent and desire for it, and others won't. Cooking isn't suitable for everyone, but everything aside - it's a wonderful strategy.

Hi bravosi, Thank you for your interesting opinion, it is good to always have complementary points of view, I agree that even though most of us like cookies and other desserts, we do not all like to cook them or we do not all have that ability. Thanks for your contribution.
