🍪 Part 1: Recipe Analysis

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (Makes 12 cookies):

• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup butter

1. Sarah wants to make 24 cookies (double the recipe). What will be the new amount of flour needed?

6/8 cups

1 1/2 cups

3/8 cups

6/4 cups

2. To double 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, what common denominator should you use?

3

6

9

12

3. Complete the doubling calculation for chocolate chips:

1/3 × 2 = ___/6 = ___/3 cups

4. Marcus wants to make only 6 cookies (half the recipe). How much sugar will he need?

🧮 Part 2: Recipe Math Work

5. Show your work to find how much butter is needed for 6 cookies (half recipe):
6. Complete this table for making different batch sizes:
Ingredient Original (12 cookies) Half Recipe (6 cookies) Double Recipe (24 cookies)
Flour 3/4 cup _______ cup _______ cups
Sugar 1/2 cup _______ cup _______ cup
7. Explain your strategy for finding common denominators when adjusting recipes:

🌟 Part 3: Create Your Own Challenge

8. Extension Activity: Create your own recipe with at least 3 ingredients using fractions. Then show how to triple the recipe.

My Recipe Name: _________________________________

9. Real-World Connection: Describe a situation outside of cooking where you might need to adjust fractions (double or halve amounts).
10. Reflection: Record a 30-second voice memo OR write 2-3 sentences explaining why finding common denominators is important when working with recipe fractions.

Success Criteria Checklist:

I can find common denominators for fraction pairs

I can double and halve recipe fractions accurately

I can explain my reasoning for fraction adjustments

I can apply fraction skills to real-world problems
