Valentine's Day Math Cookie Patchwork Heart

1/2 of a batch of sugar cookie dough...

One half - either of two equal or corresponding parts into which something is divided.

...rolled out and cut into an eight inch square...

Square - a two dimensional figure with four equal, straight sides, and four right angles.

...divided into sixteen, two inch squares...

Divided - separated into equal parts.

...cut in half diagonally to form thirty-two triangles...

Diagonally - moving in a straight line connecting two opposite corners of a polygon.

Polygon - a two dimensional figure with at least three straight sides.

Triangle - A three sided polygon.

...transferred to a greased baking sheet, and baked for thirteen minutes at 350° F...

350 degrees Fahrenheit - the unit of temperature used in the United States of America, equalling approximately 177 degrees Celsius.

...allowed to cool, and iced so that...

...3/8 of the triangles were glazed with white icing (no food coloring added), 5/16 with light pink (one drop of food coloring and one drop of strawberry extract added), and 5/16 with dark pink (two additional drops of red food coloring added)...

3/8 * 32 = 3/8 * 32/1 = (3 * 32)/(8 * 1) = 96/8 = 12 triangles

5/16 * 32 = 160/16 = 10 triangles

...arranged back into a 4 x 4 square, forming a heart shaped geometric pattern with the colored triangles...

Geometric - utilizing a pattern of simple shapes.

...and equalling a Happy Valentine's Day wish from Almost Unschoolers.
