Introduction O Have you ever baked cookies? If so, then you know that ingredients have to be measured. O Sometimes, it is not as simple as following a recipe. What if you only need half of a batch? What if you need to double or triple the amount? What if you don’t have measuring cups? O To solve these problems, you need to use measuring skills, multiplication & division, and equivalent capacities. O For this project, you will be a baker trying to adjust recipes and measuring strategies.
