Description
I LOVE this activity, and so do my kiddos….! It can be hard to teach fractions and how to multiply them by whole number, mixed numbers, or other numbers. This fun activity for the class will brighten things up. This worksheet can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used as a center station for math rotations, a class activity or as a review. This activity shows students the importance fractions and helps them to understand how they can use what they have learned.
You only need a waffle maker to make this recipe. This makes it possible to bake in your classroom. It is easy for the children to taste test their work and check it by themselves. Students work in small groups of 4, then I mix up the ingredients to make the serving size. One serving equals 1/2 of a waffle. Students who work in groups of 4 get 1/4. So Brownies for 2 is the name! This activity will delight students, regardless of whether you make them or send them home with their own recipes. **Common Core Aligned**
After this activity I actually have students begging for a copy of this worksheet to take home to try with their families.
Students must use their knowledge about Multiplying Fractions and Scaling by Fractions to complete this activity.
Students can use the original recipe to calculate the ingredients for one serving. (Convert the original recipe to tablespoons then multiply by 1/8)
Let me know what you think and how this activity goes in your classroom!
