Homework Snacks = Yum

Cooking has a natural connection to math, and this collection of six edible math projects cleverly interweaves fun facts about math and mathematicians and an opportunity to do math calculations alongside following recipes. For Fibonacci snack sticks, children create patterns with such foods as strawberries, grapes, and marshmallows for a shish kabob type snack. For fraction chips, children bake tortillas, cut them in halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, or eights and serve equivalent snacks. With the promise of eating what they figure out and create, this how-to book engages learners kinesthetically in learning math concepts from tessellations and tangrams to probability and pi. ( )
