**Pancake Process**

You will first find a recipe, modify it to produce the appropriate yield, and then make the recipe in tomorrow's period.

But before we do that, do you remember how to multiply fractions? Something about numerators and denominators, right? If you need a quick review, here are a few websites that can help:

FINDING YOUR RECIPE

1. You will be assigned to teams of four chefs each. Be prepared to work with anyone. Muahahahah. 2. Use either www.foodnetwork.com or www.allrecipes.com. BE SURE TO NOTE THE URL OF THE RECIPE YOU CHOOSE. 3. Copy the text of the recipe **twice** (Ingredients, directions AND URL) into a Word document. You will leave the first copy as the original, and modify the second.

MODIFY YOUR RECIPE

4. There are 12 teachers at school, and each will need 3 pancakes each to get through the day. Use this information and what you know of multiplying fractions to modify the recipe to reach the appropriate yield.

For example: If this recipe yields 6 pancakes, and requires one egg, how many eggs would you need total?

5. Record your new recipe, modifying the SECOND recipe pasted in your word document. Use pencil and paper to SHOW & RECORD YOUR WORK. Write a few sentences next to each step explaining your work and your thought processes. 6. Use this website to convert your ingredient amounts to express them in the SIMPLEST FRACTIONS POSSIBLE.

For example: If your recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of salt, convert this amount: 1 teaspoon = 1/3 tablespoon, so 3 teaspoon = 1 tablespoon.

MAKE YOUR RECIPE

7. Attach your work to your final recipe. You will be given the ingredients tomorrow to make your recipes.
