For this assignment, students will work with an adult at home to find or make up a recipe for a snack mix. The objective of this assignment is to demonstrate how we use fractions in cooking. Students will have an opportunity to actually make some of the recipes submitted. In fact, students will use the skills they have learned to double these recipes so we can share this snack with the class. Please keep in mind that this should be a healthy snack, so small amounts of sugary additives are okay, but please include healthy ingredients too! Also, remember to use fractions in your recipe and be creative. Here is an example to get you thinking: **__Mrs. Wall’s Energy Snack__** ¼ cup dried apricots 2/3 cup regular Cheerios 1/3 cup dried banana chips ¼ cup Wheat Chex 1/8 cup mini marshmallows Directions: Measure and combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well and enjoy! Bring your recipe to school (not the ingredients, we’ll ask for those later!) on: _______________
