Multiplying Fractions with Cupcake Recipe

*Now includes a digital version!

Students will LOVE pretending to be cupcake bakers during this Multiplying Fractions activity! Perfect for Valentine's Day or any time of year, this resource includes a strawberry cupcake recipe that needs to be doubled!

I designed this resource to supplement our 4th grade Multiplying Fractions unit. It ties directly to Common Core State Standards for 4th grade math, but could also be fun in 5th!

What's included?

- Strawberry Cupcake & Frosting Recipe

- Student work and answer page

- Answer Key

- Bonus "Early Finisher" Slime Recipe

- Printer-friendly strawberry cupcake recipe with baking instructions to send home

- Links to tablecloths & chef hats for an optional room transformation!

I used this resource during a Valentine's Day room transformation. I transformed my room into a "bakery" for under $20. I purchased these tablecloths and chef hats from Amazon, and brought in my own mixing bowl, utensils and apron. The kids had a blast! Read my blog post to see how you can do the room transformation both in-person and online. This resource now includes a digital version as well!

Regardless of whether you transform your room or not, this is sure to be an engaging activity!

(One version of the cupcake recipe says "Valentine's Day" cupcakes because I did the transformation on Valentine's Day. There is also a version that says "Strawberry" cupcake recipe that can be used all year long!)

Enjoy!
