In Maths, students are invited to observe the process of making food, and they are asked to observe the shape of the ingredients and tools used; are they similar to the two-dimensional shapes they have learned? They also discussed the profession of chefs who work in making food industry professionally. Through the discussion, EY2 students were able to mention that chefs must be careful so as not to skip steps in cooking and cook carefully to be safe and produce delicious food.
