Math in the Kitchen

Cooking uses math all the time! You add and subtract ingredients, double recipes (multiplication), and divide food into equal servings.

How Arithmetic Helps in Cooking

  • Measure out cups or spoons
  • Double or halve a recipe
  • Divide cookies or slices equally

Math makes sure your food turns out just right!

Examples

  • A recipe needs 2 cups of flour. Doubling means 2 × 2 = 4 cups.

  • Cutting a pizza into 8 equal slices so everyone gets a piece.
