In this lesson we addressed math standards. We are learning about fractions, equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, improper fractions, and reducing or enlarging fractions. We needed to learn these skills in order to make a dessert and understand how to reduce or enlarge the serving according to the recipe. The 21st century skills that were addressed were collaboration, higher-order thinking skills, responsibility, and technology skills. We incorporated our Curriculum-framing Question: Why Do We Need Fractions? The students can reflect on how people need to use fractions on their job in the real-world. We made the project on making brownies using fractions and recipes to check for understanding. The students then made a powerpoint to share with the class about their experience. All of my students are really on the same level so we didn't really address students differences.
