MATH WEEK

Exploring Math Through Cuisine: A Delicious Week of Learning

Last week, our school celebrated Semaine des maths (Math Week) with a unique and tasty twist! Parents were invited to join their children in exploring the world of math through cuisine, and the results were both educational and delicious.

In every classroom, students engaged in hands-on activities that brought math concepts to life through cooking. From chia pudding to smoothies to no-bake desserts, each class embarked on a culinary adventure while learning valuable math skills.

In one classroom, students measured ingredients and followed recipes to create a variety of nutritious smoothies. As they blended fruits and calculated proportions, they discovered how fractions and measurements are essential in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, in another class, students experimented with different ingredients to make chia pudding. Through trial and error, they honed their understanding of ratios and conversions, learning that precision is key when it comes to achieving the perfect consistency.

In yet another classroom, students whipped up no-bake desserts, applying their knowledge of fractions to adjust recipes and portion sizes. They quickly realized that math isn't just about numbers on a page—it's a

practical tool that can be used to solve real-world problems, like how to evenly divide a batch of treats among friends.

Throughout the week, students not only enjoyed the fruits of their labor but also gained a deeper appreciation

for the role math plays in everyday life. By connecting math to something as tangible and relatable as cooking,

they discovered that math isn't just a subject to be studied in school—it's a skill that empowers them to

navigate the world around them with confidence and competence.

As Math Week came to a close, our students left with full bellies, happy hearts, and a newfound enthusiasm for math. Semaine des maths may be over, but the lessons learned in the kitchen will continue to nourish their minds for years to come.

Bon appétit, and happy calculating!
