Integrated Learning Series

This book is another interesting contribution to this series. The teacher may want to conduct a series study by having students look at the collection of books, for example. Students could compare recipes, for example, and draw conclusions about the availability of foods during certain periods in US history. They could make a comparison chart, for example. Each book would facilitate talk about history, actively engage students in a learning activity, practice the use of math, facilitate discussion kitchen safety, prompt talk about hygiene, enable use of maps and geography, and facilitate discussion of availability of crops and meat. Even if the class couldn't cook the items, the students could mix the items and the teacher could provide ones cooked at home. This book gives the opportunity to discuss practical math, history, safety, metric conversation, teamwork, and fruits and vegetables. Gunderson, M. (2000).
