Cookies and Math
Students were busy today. They needed to figure out how much would one batch of cookies cost, and how much 12 batches of cookies would cost. In order to be successful, students needed to understand how many 1/4 are in a whole, how many 1/2 are in a whole, how many 1/3 are in a whole, and how many 1/4 are in a 1/2. We used fraction bars to help us make these comparisons.
Next, students had to understand the different denominations of coins and compare cents to dollars. We reviewed the following information:
penny = 1¢ = $0.01
nickel = 5¢ = $0.05
dime = 10¢ = $0.10
quarter = 25¢ = $0.25
loonie = 100¢ = $1.00
With all of this information we determined the cost of one batch of cookies to be $3.81 for ingredients. Can you prove that $3.81 is true?
How much would 12 batches of cookies cost?
If one batch makes 35 cookies, how many cookies will we make in 12 batches?
How much does it cost for each cookie?
