Math Possibilities

Students are starting up their own restaurant based around pancakes. The students will create their budget, their restaurant layout, the recipe and increased recipe for a class that is coming to eat (avg 30 students), they need to market and advertise, and lastly create an explanation of starting a business.

Students experience problems that they may encounter in life. Which allows them to use their math and problem solving skills if any of these problems happen to them at home.

There are 16 task cards all revolved around work with fraction including plotting on number lines, comparing, ordering, adding, subtracting, defining, and explaining.

These can be used for math journals or task cards. These will get students to start thinking of why an answer is true.

Students will go through several steps using recipes to see how fractions are used daily in a cook/caterers life!

Students use dice and coins to explore multiplying with fractions in order to create a conjecture about what they observed during this activity.
