Math In Everyday Life-Cooking With Fractions

Today in math class we made chocolate chip banana muffins. One of the things that went well was that we all worked together. Another thing that went well was that our muffins looked yummy, even though we didn’t win the taste test. One of the things that went wrong is that some of our muffins had too many chocolate chips and some didn't have enough. Before we started baking we doubled the fractions for the recipe. It wasn’t hard and it was easiest for me to use the paper and pencil but, on the second recipe that we didn’t get to today we had to half the recipe. I used diagrams for that because I’m not that good at dividing fractions yet. Over all it was a good day and I thought my groups muffin turned out good.
