Tell students:
In this workshop, your group will create a recipe for chocolate milk - you can choose the intensity. The intensity of your recipe should be different from Steven’s.
You will then make a poster that describes how much chocolate syrup and how much milk to use for three different situations.
For Situation A and Situation B, use the same recipe. Situation C asks you to modify your recipe for someone who likes less intense chocolate milk.
Situation A: Chocolate milk for just yourself: Use your recipe to make one 8-ounce glass of chocolate milk.
Situation B: Chocolate milk for a group: Use your recipe to make four 6-ounce glasses chocolate milk.
Situation C: Lastly, answer the following question: your grandma likes very weak (not intense) chocolate milk. How would you change your recipe to make a glass of chocolate milk for your grandma? Show how you would change your recipe to make 8 ounces of chocolate milk for your grandma.
Tell students:
After you choose your recipe, make a poster.
Your poster should include mathematical representations (mathematical drawings, diagrams, tables, equations, or graphs) to show how you used your recipe in each situation. Include both the ratio of chocolate syrup and milk, and the number of ounces of each ingredient for your recipe. Show all your steps and consider your quantities carefully—some numbers will be easier to work with than others.
