[Coehd] May 5

Dear COEHD Team, Bonham Academy is a UTSA Lab School. They are currently planning an exciting Cinco de Mayo con Matemáticas family event and would love to explore ways UTSA might be able to support it. One of the key features of the event will be engaging families in hands-on cooking activities that highlight how math can be used in everyday life—specifically, in the kitchen! Here’s a brief overview of the stations they are planning: * Station 1A: Original recipe for flour tortillas * Station 1B: Original recipe for picadillo (At both, teachers will demonstrate how to use math in the kitchen with children) * Station 2A: Doubling the flour tortilla recipe * Station 3A: Halving the flour tortilla recipe * Station 2B: Doubling the picadillo recipe * Station 3B: Halving the picadillo recipe They were wondering if UTSA might have a math professor who would be interested in participating in one of the stations—especially someone who enjoys making tortillas or picadillo! It would be a fantastic way to show families that math is not only relevant but also fun and delicious. After all the meals are done cooking, we’ll sit down and enjoy the food together as a community. We’re excited for this opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate culture through math and food. We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas for how UTSA might be involved. Thank you both so much for your time and support! Please contact me as soon as possible, if you are interested. 337-423-6410 Thank you, Johnnie [cid:192d427b-bad3-455e-8967-1b32d531ab00] Juanita (Johnnie) Santos, Ed. D.
