Addition and Multiplication of Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions with Doubling a Recipe
Math, Fractions, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities
Butter Tart Recipe (based on my grandma's actual delicious family recipe!) Here is a real-life example to help students practice adding and multiplying mixed numbers and improper fractions. When students ask, "When will we ever use this in real-life?!" you can show them this lesson and say that working with fractions is so common in baking. This delicious activity will allow students to practice using fractions with a realistic everyday example: baking! Students will take a recipe that has several fractions in it and double it. Half a cup of something becomes a cup and 3/4 of a cup becomes 1 and a half cups. After that, they need to figure out how much of each ingredient would be needed if the recipe was made five times bigger (perhaps in a bakery setting or for a large event). I encourage my students to use different strategies to complete this task: drawing pictures with squares, repeated addition, or multiplication. Boxes for diagrams and math calculations are included to encourage students to show their work. You could even have different students come up to show their personal strategies to the rest of the class. As an extension, students can bring in their own recipes from home in the next class and double them or multiply them by five as well. You might even want to actually make something tasty to eat too!

Skydiving and Parachutes Reading Comprehension Article-Grade 8 and Up
Science, Basic Science, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Activities
Skydiving and Parachutes. This resource is suitable for students in grades 8 and up. Here's the first few paragraphs for your review. The sensation of free-falling through thousands of feet of open air is a dream for many thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. But safely leaping from an airplane and drifting back to earth is made possible by several key scientific principles. The fields of physics and aerodynamics have unlocked the secrets behind achieving lift, managing velocity, and engineering parachute canopies capable of keeping skydivers and BASE jumpers alive. This reading will explore essential concepts like aerodynamics, free-fall, terminal velocity, and the engineering behind modern parachutes. Aerodynamics The physics of air pressure and airflow are essential for understanding how skydivers can safely jump from extreme heights. The branch of science called aerodynamics studies the properties and interactions of moving air, especially how it generates lift and drag forces. Lift is the upward push created by air moving over a wing or canopy surface, while drag is the backward resistance a falling object experiences moving through the atmosphere.
