Food Math Activities & Worksheets
Math students can almost taste. They scale recipes, compare prices per ounce, and catch shrinkflation as packages get smaller while prices stay the same. Activities range from cookie calculations for younger students to chocolate milk accounting and Starbucks nutrition for high school. Every activity comes with a student worksheet, an answer key and the Common Core standards it covers.
