In Authentic Learning, Ms. Brokofsky goes into depth about connecting students to text that matters to them. She discusses some ways teachers engage students in reading and writing that is authentic. She questioned how authentic math would look like and what she could do to make it authentic.

Hello Ms. Brokofsky,
I am a student in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama and have been assigned to read your blog. I really enjoyed reading your blog about authentic learning and the various ways teachers incorporated it in the classroom because it gets students connected to the lesson and motivated. It gives the students a reason to learn and can boost their interest. 
Part 2:
In Cooking with Your Kids…. A Perfect Time to #TalkMath, Ms. Brokofsky write about cooking always involving some sort of math whether it be if the food cooked long enough or how much of an ingredient is needed. She writes about how she has always had children in the kitchen with her to help cook. Using math in an everyday situation such as cooking creates connections to life that children can see first hand.

Hello Ms. Brokofsky,
I am a student in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama and have been assigned to read your blog. I really enjoyed reading your blog about using math while cooking. I think having children with you while cooking is a great way to introduce math because it creates a life connection. My stepson loves being apart of cooking, just tell him what you need. When cooking with his dad, they have mini math lessons which is amazing because he sees the real life relevance. 
Well done.
