Real Life Math- Reflection- Cooking with Fraction #2

We cooked with fractions today, agian. What went well was everything, but the muffings had lots of flour in them. What we had problems before was we didn't have all the dishes we needed, but Mrs. Nelson gave us some when we got there. What problems we had during this was we almost mixing up the baking powder and baking soda. What i learned was cooking with fractions are hard at times. It is easier to visualize, then to model. The part that was easy was mixing the batter. What part that was hard was getting the ingrediants. What will i do differently is not mix up with baking powder and baking soda and not put to much flour. Today was fun.

Real life math- Cooking with fractions

Today in math we cooked Apple Crisp. I liked doing this, becuase it was fun, and I got to do it with friends. What I learned was fractions are useful in life, and untits of measure are also important. Fractions in life are important, because there is lots of things in life that have to do with frations, such as baking. Units of meausre are important, because if you are spose to put a cup of four and you accedently put a table spoon of flour you are in trouble. I think our Aple Crisp was a success, because we aall had fun and it looked good to eat.
