☕️Cozy up with a cup of hot chocolate & think about what math makes possible! 🍫It's a tasty way to concretely explore ratios.🥛 Mix 2 cups of milk & 4 tbsps of cocoa powder and students will see that it tastes the same as a hot chocolate with 1 cup of milk & 2 tbsps of cocoa powder.
Graphic titled "Hot Chocolate IS MATH" featuring a close-up of a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Text below reads "2 tablespoons of cocoa powder : 1 cup of milk."
