00:00Hey, friends! Have you ever wondered how baking cookies could turn you into a math superstar?

00:06Well, grab your aprons, because today, I'm showing you how every step in baking is like a secret maths mission.

00:14Let's start with measuring our ingredients.

00:17I've got my recipe, but it says I need three quarters of a cup of sugar.

00:21What's that mean?

00:23Well, three quarters is just three out of four parts.

00:25So, if I fill my quarter cup three times, I've got the right amount.

00:30Fractions to the rescue.

00:32Next up, let's talk about multiplying or dividing recipes.

00:36Say you want to make double the cookies. Yum!

00:39If the recipe calls for two eggs, double that, and you'll need four.

00:44If I only want half the cookies, I cut everything in half.

00:47Half of two cups of flour? That's one cup!

00:50Now you're doing multiplication and division, and you didn't even open your maths book.

00:55Now let's set the oven.

00:56My recipe says to bake the cookies at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes.

01:02So I set my timer and watch the clock.

01:05Counting down the minutes is practicing subtraction.

01:0812, 11, 10, until it dings.

01:11But wait, what if your recipe uses grams or milliliters instead?

01:16That's where units of measurement come in.

01:18Some countries use ounces, some use grams.

01:21Learning to read both helps you understand different ways to measure the same thing.

01:25Cool, right?

01:27Oh, here's a fun challenge.

01:29If I roll out my cookie dough and use a cutter to make round cookies,

01:32how many do you think I'll get from one batch?

01:35Estimating is a great way to use maths and make sure you've got enough cookies for everyone.

01:40And finally, let's not forget counting your cookies once they're baked.

01:44If you made 24 cookies and want to share them with 6 friends, how many does each friend get?

01:50That's division in action.

01:53Each friend gets 4 yummy cookies.

01:55So every time you're baking, you're actually doing maths.

01:59Measuring, dividing, counting, estimating, and even reading the clock.

02:04Who knew maths could be this tasty?

02:06Now it's your turn.

02:07Try baking cookies at home and see how many maths problems you can solve in the kitchen.
