Following a recipe can be tough if you don’t have the right tools, but using your math skills can get you out of a sticky situation! Imagine you’re making cookie dough. The recipe calls for 2 cups of flour, but the only measuring cup you have is a ½ cup. How many ½ cups of flour will you need to equal 2 cups? What would you do if you only had a tablespoon for measuring the flour? By applying some conversion equations, we can figure out!

Working in small groups with your classmates, use water and common kitchen measuring tools to find out the following: -How many teaspoons equal one tablespoon? -How many tablespoons equal one cup? -How many cups are in one pint? -How many pints are in one quart? -How many quarts are in one gallon?

Using Crayola® Bright Fabric Markers create a colorful conversion chart on an apron for easy reference when you cook! For best results, use an apron that is 100% cotton fabric. Place a piece of paper underneath the drawing area to prevent bleed through. Draw your chart, making sure you saturated the cloth. Add bright drawings and designs around the conversion chart to enhance your apron! When you are finished, ask an adult to iron your design. Set iron on cotton setting and iron on the reverse side using a back and forth motion for 4 minutes. Or place garment in the dryer for 30 minutes on the hottest setting. This will fix the color to the fabric.
