NEED A LARGER RECIPE! Be as creative as you possibly can to complete the project.By the end of this project each student should have real‐world knowledge of what is required to increase the size of a recipe to accommodate a larger group of people using what they know about equivalent fractions, ratios, and proportions.?? This project will focus on the following concepts previously learned:Equivalent Fractions Ratios Proportional RelationshipsLinear EquationsSlopeInput-Output TablesMATERIALS NEEDED:?? Project Worksheet:??“I Need a Larger Recipe” Computer/Internet Access?? Poster Paper/Chart Paper Markers CalculatorsEach student will display his/her poster of all of the necessary information.??Students will work independently. Students present results to the class.I NEED A LARGER RECIPEYou will apply ratios and proportions to help you convert a recipe to serve more people. You have found your favorite recipe for a dessert or appetizer and want to bring it to the class party.??The problem is that your recipe doesn’t serve enough people.??Use proportions to increase the recipe to serve all of the people in your class including your teacher.??Make enough for 1 serving per person.For this project you will need to: Choose one recipe from the internet, cookbook or home.?? (, om , recipes ) The recipe must have at least 8 ingredients, must have the number of portions it makes, and it must serve greater than 4 people, but less than 10 people. Use proportions to increase the recipe to serve the number of people in your class, including your teacher (1 serving per person). Create a brochure that includes the following:??(Use attached table to assist you) Original Recipe Ratio for one serving, for example:??if the recipe uses 1 cup of sugar, and the recipe serves 8, the ratio for one serving equals 1/8 c. sugar (THINK UNIT RATES!!!)Proportion used to increase recipe to number of servings to give one portion to each person in the class including the teacher.??? Show ALL work to solve proportions. Round your measurements to the nearest HALF (i.e. 3.222 teaspoons, rounds to 3 teaspoons, 3.666 teaspoons rounds to 3 ? teaspoons. Scaled Recipe – Ingredients and new amounts needed to give one serving per person in class. Explain the math you used to solve this problem.??Your strategies!!! Directions on how to make the recipe. Be creative!??Use drawings, pictures, etc. to demonstrate your knowledge of ratios and proportions.TABLE: Proportions to Increase RecipeOriginal Recipe serves: _______ New Recipe serves: ______ (# of people in class)Original RecipeIngredientsRatio for One ServingProportion used to increase recipe to serve classmatesWork to Solve ProportionScaled Recipe Amount needed to feed the class1 cup of sugar(serves 8)1/81 = x8 308x = 308 83 ? cups of sugar for 30 people.Investigating Rates/Unit Rates By the end of this project each student should have real‐world knowledge of what is required to shop for the best value and incorporate coupons.??This project will focus on the following concepts previously learned:RateUnit RateMATERIALS NEEDED:?? Project Worksheet:??“Investigating Rates/Unit Rates” Computer/Internet Access?? Poster Paper/Chart Paper Markers CalculatorsStudents will complete 4 sections on this project, all which incorporate the use of rates and unit rates.Part 1: Choose the product (Use for prices)Choose a product that has two different sizes. Record the prices and determine the unit rate for each size. Compare the unit rates for each product, and then determine which product has the better buy. ItemExample: Kraft Mac & CheeseSize #1Price: $3.46 per 8 oz.Unit Rate: $0.43 per oz.Size #2Price: $2.89 per 6 oz.Unit Rate: $0.48 per oz.Which is the better buy?Size #1 is the better buy because it has a lower unit rate ($0.43 per oz.)Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate: Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Part 2: Find the ProductUsing these specific products, locate the price at your local grocery store and calculate the unit rate per one piece, instead of per one ounce/lb. as given to you on the price tag.ItemRate/Unit RateWonder Bread – White Bread(Regular Size/16 oz.)Price: Price per slice: Chips Ahoy – Chocolate Chip(Regular Blue Bag)Price: Price per cookie: Crayola Markers(Thin or flat-tipped)Price: Price per marker: Bottled Water(24 pack - case)Price: Price per bottle: How would using a coupon change the unit rate/price per item?Part 3: How much will you save?Using the products from Part 1, calculate the cost if you bought each item once a week for one year. Then calculate how much you would save per year if you would buy the cheaper item.ItemSize #1Size #2.How much would you save?Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:Price:Unit Rate:How much would you save if you bought all 5 of the items listed over the span of one year?If you used a coupon that would take $0.50 from either price, how much would you save by using the coupon every week for one year?Part 4: Answer the following questions using Mathematical Reasoning.Lance sells Tootsie Rolls s out of his backpack at 4 for $0.25. The grocery store near school sells the same Tootsie Rolls to its customers in a pack of 14 for $0.95. Which is the better buy? Explain using mathematical reasoning.Avery sells baseball cards at 6 for $0.40. Is that a better buy than 50 baseball cards for $4.20? Explain using mathematical reasoning.Ed drives from Jefferson to Holden, a distance of 250 miles. He then travels on to Paxton, which is 50 miles from Holden. If it takes him 5 hours to complete the entire trip, how fast was he traveling if he is traveling at a constant speed?Pat wants to enter a typing contest. In order to enter, one has to be able to type 50 words per minute. Pat took 15 seconds to type 10 words. Can he enter the contest?Erica babysits for 4 ? hours and is paid $27. a. How much does she make per hour? b. How much does she make for 8 hours? c. If the people she babysits for have $34 to pay her, how long can they stay out?00Incoming Eighth Grade Summer ProjectSummer 2015Incoming Eighth Grade Summer ProjectSummer 2015 ................
