Chocolate Cupcakes

Before you begin it may be a good idea to show the children the measuring utensils that you are going to use. Some measuring cups have multiple cups in them. There are also measuring cups that come as individual amount for 1 cup, 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 cup.

It is best to do this activity with one cup that has measurements written on it. If you have the individual ones you can add different math activities before you start cooking.

For example:

•    How many of the 1/2 cups fit into the whole cup

•    How many of the 1/4 cups fit into the 1/2 or the whole etc.
