  • Join to access all included materials

In order to create some tasty fudge, learners must adapt a recipe. Using a recipe for fudge, ingredients must be correctly converted using fractions. If one fraction is incorrect, the fudge will reveal it! Although you will only make one batch, you can ask the class to calculate various amounts. For instance, how much of each ingredient would we need if we do a third, fourth, or fifth of the batch?
