We did a fraction unit last week using pancake recipes! The kids were given five recipes and were asked to compare ingredients. They compared recipes to help them make a decision about which recipe we should use! After converting fractions to decimals and comparing them, they had to add fractions to get enough batter! Then, they converted the improper fractions to mixed numbers and simplified! We covered a good chunk of our fraction unit! Who knew fractions could be so tasty?!?!
They took notes on their iPads and sent their data via email. They recorded explanations on the video section of their iPads! The explanations I got were unbelievable!!! :)
