This task isn’t as straight forward as some, but I was making a pie and only needed one crust. This recipe makes 2…so I had to figure out how to adjust my ingredients. I think this could be a good one for 5.NF.B.7. If you have a way to make it better, please share!
How much of each ingredient is needed to make half the servings?

I finally got outside for a bit today just before the sun set and wanted to get my vegetables started. I had saved some pots from last year, but I ran out and remembered I had empty cardboard egg cartons! When I started to plant my left over beans, I realized this could be a really fun task. I love this task because it reminds us that even though we are currently stuck at home, we can still do the things we love and watch life bloom all around us! This could fit several OA and NBT standards in grade 1 and 2, but I like 1.NBT.C.4.

What’s a number that is too high? Too low?
