Less than $5 6th Grade Montessori

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.

LESSON PLAN

I created different phrases for you to choose from on your “classroom info” board and labeled what pages you would need to print out according to what phrase you would like to use.

I also created a couple design ideas to help get your creativity flowing as you decorate your classroom into the perfect jungle!

In the activity, the pre-k and kindergarten students focus on comparing numbers and the abacus for numbers 0–9. Students will also practice writing “greater than” or “less than” to work on their fine motor skills.

This activity helps with number sense and solidifies the number relationships. Also encourages number order, like counting forward and counting backward.

In this activity, we are counting only from 0 to 9, because learning the abacus is only one column of the abacus. Abacus is easy to understand; it promotes tactile learning.

The abacus used has 1 bead on top and 4 beads on the bottom. This activity focuses on the top bead (has a value of 5) and the bottom beads (has a value of 1 for each bead).

All the bottom beads have a value of 1, and the top bead has a value of 5.
