Food Network Math Challenge!

I have absolutely no idea what grade level I would like teach, however I do enjoy math so my assignment will be on creating a Food Network episode! For this assignment you are to pick your favorite thing to bake, whether it is chocolate chip cookies, Funfetti cupcakes, a pie, or even a pizza! Whatever you decide to make, has to be homemade (not frozen or pre-made and ready to heat up in the oven), this way you will be able to incorporate your measuring math skills!

For this assignment you must film yourself making whatever you decide to bake. Make sure you have someone assist you such as a family member or friend. This video must at least 6 minutes minimum and 10 minutes maximum.

The following steps are required:

  1. You must introduce yourself and the name of your show
  2. Tell your audience what you are making and why you chose that recipe 
  3. You must have all your ingredients displayed and utensil out 
  4. Explain step by step what you are measuring and how much your recipe calls for 
  5. You must be creative and dress the part!
  6. Last you must speak clearly for your audience to understand what you are saying (make sure there is no background noise)
Watch How To Bake A Simple Cake (the first 7 mins and 30 sec) Take note on how she explains every step and has everything displayed at the beginning of her video!

  1. Hello Jerica,
    I love your assignment idea. I also love math lessons incorporating measurements. I love that you would have your students make some type of recipe. That will help the students be able to relate the lesson to a real life situation. I think the kids would have a great time recording themselves and making the video. You are doing a great job with your blog. Keep up the great work!
