Want students to work more with recipes before they step into the kitchen? Have your students annotate recipes, mark-the-text and create timelines that correspond to the recipes they will be completing in the lab. This assignment can be broken down into sections or you can have students only complete parts of the activity. Having students work with recipes before entering the lab increases lab efficiency and accuracy.
Students love to compete, and what better way to increase their engagement in math than a game of BINGO? Test your students knowledge on culinary equivalents like how many teaspoons in a Tablespoon with a game.
A fun way for students to get to know each other and use their imagination at the same time. Students work in groups to finish the scribble they have been given, each student gets 45 seconds to add to it, when they are all done they will create a story to go with the scribble then they will share story with the class if they choose to.
Like the game Scattergories? Have your students play it to test their prior knowledge of different culinary arts categories and get to know the people sitting at their tables.
