This is a fun activity for students to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and simplification of fractions by converting measurements for a recipe! The recipe comes from Sally's Baking Addiction, and it is her Peanut Butter Bars Recipe. This can be done as a whole group, in small groups, or by individual students. If you have the ability to have the students make the recipe after solving the puzzle, it is totally worth it! They will love being able to make something that they solved a puzzle for and have a delicious treat afterwards.

Students will be given a list of ingredients that have "weird" measurements on them. They will need to convert all of the measurements into the simplest form. Students will have to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and convert fractions from improper fractions to mixed numbers and put all of the measurements into simplest form. Once students solve the puzzle and get the correct answers that match the answer key, then they will receive the steps to prepare the Peanut Butter Bars/Cups. ** I recommend doing the bars. They are definitely easier to do, especially in a classroom setting, but the cups do look better. They both taste the same though.**

I hope you enjoy it and make something yummy! Please rate and review.

This is a novel study of C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students. **You will need to have read the first book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,** before you do this novel study. I have a novel study for the first book also!****

Competed Lesson Plans

Each chapter comes with a completed lesson plan! The lesson plans include an I can statement (Chapter Goal), the materials needed, what students will be doing as a preview to the chapter, what they will be doing during the read, the activity after the chapter, some differentiation ideas, the assessment, and a closure. There is a spot for standards, but I did not include one because of different state standards. They are also all editable! It was made using Google Slides, so that will be the best place to edit the lesson plans.

Doodle Notes/End of Chapter & Discussion Activities

Each chapter comes with doodle notes and an End of Chapter/Discussion Activity. Doodle notes are notes students take that involve more drawing than writing. Students will have a prompt to help them know what to focus on while listening/reading the chapter and what to take notes on. The activities focus on multiple different skills, Central Idea, Supporting Details, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Summaries, Story Elements, Inferences, and more. There are also 8 discussion activities where students will need to work in groups discussing a prompt about the chapter.

Slideshow

To go along with the book, there is a Slideshow that includes an outline for each chapter! It includes what is written in the lesson plans. So there are introduction slides for each chapter, a copy of the doodle notes and chapter activities, and a slide for the closure. The slides are also editable! So if you would like to add/adapt anything to fit your class/lesson better, just open the file in Canva or PowerPoint. I also made a Google Slides File also that is easier to edit on Google Slides, however you cannot edit as much. ***There is a slide, that you will need to edit. It is the “Discussion Expectations” slide. This is because each class will have different expectations for discussions.**

This interactive resource introduces children and beginners to the exciting world of 3D printing through clear explanations, relatable examples, and engaging activities. It breaks down complex concepts into kid-friendly language, covering everything from how 3D printers work to their real-world applications.

Key Concepts Covered:

• What is 3D Printing? Building objects layer by layer from digital designs.
• How It Works: From 3D modeling software to printing with materials like plastic, metal, or even chocolate!
• Real-World Uses: Toys, airplane parts, medical devices, and even space applications.
• Benefits: Saves materials, creates complex shapes, and revolutionizes manufacturing.
• Skills Needed: Basic computer design knowledge for creating 3D models.

Interactive Learning Tools:

• Multiple-Choice & True/False Questions – Test understanding (e.g., "3D printers build objects by adding layers").
• Short Answer & Open-Ended Prompts – Spark creativity ("What would you design with a 3D printer?").
• Fill-in-the-Blanks & Vocabulary Matching – Reinforce terms like layers, 3D model, and software.
• Creative Activity – Kids draw and describe their own 3D-printed invention.
• Answer Key – For easy self-checking or teaching support.

Perfect For:

• Ages 8–14 – Aligns with STEM/STEAM curricula or maker-space projects.
• Teachers – Ready-to-use worksheets for classrooms or tech clubs.
• Parents – Fun, hands-on introduction to cutting-edge technology.

Why It Stands Out:

• Kid-Centric Approach: Compares 3D printing to building with blocks (but way cooler!).
• Future-Ready Skills: Inspires interest in engineering, design, and innovation.
• Real-World Connections: Highlights how 3D printing is used in hospitals, space, and everyday life.

Theme: "Turn your ideas into real objects—one layer at a time!"
