Introduction
We have just completed a HUGE unit on fractions, Congratulations. Don't
think that I have forgotten that question that you asked me every day, "When
will we ever use this ?". This short, technology enhanced project, will
help you imagine one situation where you would use fractions.
Task
- You are throwing a party for us!
- Using the fraction skills you have recently acquired, you will have to
modify a favorite recipe.
- You will then perform all the calculations and produce a two column
document in Microsoft Word comparing the two recipes.
- Where do I begin?
- Need help choosing a recipe?
- How do I adjust fractions and mixed numbers?
- How will I be graded?
- What do I need to hand in?
- Answer some questions for me (the teacher). You can be honest, this
is anonymous!
- What are NYS Standards?
- Which ones apply to my project?
