A delightful way to introduce math concepts! This book contains 14 chapters, each covering one math topic. Math concepts are explained in terms of cooking, i.e. kitchen utensils, recipes, or food. Each chapter includes one set of practice problems followed by several recipes that apply the concept. Recipes might ask you to convert an ingredient from milliliters to cups, to precisely measure the diameter of cookie dough balls, or to find the area of a brownie. Covers metric and customary measurement, volume, weight, temperature, multiplication, division, estimation, fractions, percents, area, diameter, and circumference. - Anh
