Measurements in Cooking
I made this lesson for my high school Life Skills Math class. This class is made includes students with learning disabilities. This lesson begins with common cooking measurement abbreviations. Then, asks students to double a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Next, students must figure out how to use only one ingredient for one measuring tool and use each measuring tool only once. This is a fun lesson with an edible reward at the end.

math skill builder
This is a skill builder that I created to reinforce math skills. I needed something that attacked difficult math problems that weren't intimidating, yet challenging. You will find that the basics of difficult problems are reinforced in these skill builders. I teach a middle school math intervention class in which I focus mainly on rigorous computation and the "why" behind the mathematics. While many teachers push the algorithms, its application to real life settings sets the stage for math in

Elapsed Time: 24 Hour (MILITARY and Standard) Ruler Templates-Student Aid - FREE
24 hour time template in both MILITARY time and STANDARD time. Some teachers find it easier to teach elapse time in military time. The subtraction is the only tricky part. The student must regroup an HOUR in Base 60 - meaning the hour is regrouped to 60 minutes. However, the vertical subtraction is still Base 10.
RESOURCE is on 11 x 17 inch paper!!!! Please note. Or the numbers would be too small to use.

Measuring Angles Practice
12 practice problems for measuring angles with a protractor. A small protractor is recommended. Students should first identify the type of angle as either acute, obtuse, right, or reflex. (Straight angles are not included, but should be brought up during class discussion.)
Expeditionary Learning Project Resource - Math
Expeditionary Learning takes students out of the classroom and into the community to solve a real-life problem. In this instance, students are tasked with creating a dream bedroom for a home décor store display.
Because of the authentic manner in which students are calculating measurements and pricing, achievement is enhanced.
Curricula connections include:
- Proportional reasoning involving unit pricing and currency exchange
- Manipulate and apply formulas related to converting measureme
