- Chefs supervise a team of cooks preparing everything from appetizers to desserts. Watch how much of that job is quietly mathematical. We'll walk through a worked example, try one together, then you'll try a few with hints right there when you need them.
- When chefs plan menus, they determine the number of items on the menu and calculate the price point for each item.
- They decide on the portion size of each item and project how much food is needed for each day.
- They calculate how much of each ingredient to order — that is counting, measuring, and multiplying, all before a single dish is cooked.
- profession (profesión) — A job someone is trained to do, like chef, nurse, or carpenter.
- inventory (inventario) — The supply of items a business keeps on hand, tracked by counting.
- portion (porción) — The measured amount of food served to one person.
- area (área) — The amount of flat space a surface covers, measured in square units.
- volume (volumen) — The amount of space something fills, measured in cubic units.
- Believing math only 'counts' when it happens in a classroom — and walking past the calculating, measuring, and projecting inside jobs, hobbies, and chores every day.
