Multiply Fractions to Double a Recipe

Fractional Recipe Assignment

You math assignment over the February break is to find a recipe with at least 3 fractions in it and post it on Kidblog.

• Type the oringinal recipe on Kidblog.  Include the cooking instructions and how much it makes.
• You will then need to triple the recipe and type in the new measurements.  
• After that, you need to take the original recipe and cut it in half.  Post the new measurements.

Here is my example that I posted on Kidblog.

Don't forget to include the instructions for the recipe and the amount that the recipe makes.  For extra credit, you can make the recipe and post a picture of yourself making it. (You don't actually need to cook unless you want the extra credit.)  This is a good way to share a favorite family recipe.  Have fun!

Fractional Recipe Assignment

Your math homework over the break is to find a recipe with at least 3 fractions in it and post it on Kidblog.  You then need to triple the recipe and cut it in half.  Please make sure that you type the list of ingredients neatly.  I suggest using bullet points or numbers.  I posted a sample recipe for you to look at under my daughter's account.

Don't forget to include the instructions for the recipe and the amount that the recipe makes.  For extra credit, you may choose to make the recipe and post a picture of yourself making it.  (You don't need to actually cook unless you want extra credit.)  Be creative.  This is a good way to share a favorite family recipe.
