About This Product
Equivalent Fractions in the Real World provides educators with 5 engaging math problems that connect abstract fraction concepts to real-world cooking scenarios. Students read detailed recipes and information pages, then solve unique fraction word problems related to modifying the ingredients or batch size of each recipe. For example, one recipe explores doubling a recipe to make enough healthy power bars for an entire class. Another looks at dividing up s'more ingredients evenly between 5 family members. The multi-step word problems strengthen critical thinking skills and benchmark fraction knowledge. Teachers can implement the printable 19-page resource in small groups, as a center activity, or as an independent homework assignment. The problems align to Common Core grade 3-4 standards on equivalent fractions. Rather than remaining a vague notion, equivalent fractions become a concrete tool for problem solving through the context of kid-friendly, enticing recipes.
