Description
This activity requires students to work in teams to convert simple fractions so that they can determine the recipe for sugar cookies. Once they've figured out the recipe in accordance with common measuring spoon/measuring cup amounts, they will prepare and bake their cookies. While their cookies are in the oven, they will complete a set of questions pertaining to the work they just completed to figure out the equivalencies. This activity combines teamwork, fractions, measurement, and even a little division at the end!

CCSS3.NF.A.3
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
CCSS3.NF.A.3a
Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.
CCSS3.NF.A.3b
Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3). Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
CCSS3.NF.A.3c
Express whole numbers as fractions, and recognize fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers. Examples: Express 3 in the form 3 = 3/1; recognize that 6/1 = 6; locate 4/4 and 1 at the same point of a number line diagram.
CCSS4.NF.A.1
Explain why a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 is equivalent to a fraction (𝘯 × 𝘢)/(𝘯 × 𝘣) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
