As part of our health curriculum, we decided to make some healthy snacks. We made whole wheat blueberry muffins and healthy smoothies (with fruit, Greek yogurt, and spinach).
Each group of students was responsible for making a dozen muffins. Being in small groups was a great problem solving opportunity!!!
When the baking and eating was complete, there were sill leftover muffins. The class voted on what to do with the leftovers and decided they should cut them in half and eat them (or take their half home).
We couldn't let the opportunity to do muffin math pass us by...how many kids? How many leftover muffins? Was there enough to share? How? Whole muffins? Half muffins? Our final questions was...There are 17 half muffins left. How many whole muffins does this make?
They worked furiously to figure it out...
Eventually everyone solved the muffin problem and we ate some more!!!!
Thanks to our special parent volunteer who came and helped with our baking
and cleanup!!!
