i just love using the REAL resources i have on hand to create real life education. you know, i despise workbooks. just can't hardly deal with them anymore. that said... let's get real and flip open a recipe book.

i had my son divide his paper into 3 parts, with the headlines: double, triple and quadruple. next i had him add and figure fractions and measurements of this recipe. and rename the fraction if possible. and while he was at it...i had him brush up on abbreviations. and add up serving sizes.

this was much better for "us" then workbook pages that just have problems on it. and we both love the real life application!
