Most of my students struggle to find the connection between Algebra I and their daily lives. I teach in a Title I school and a lot of my students have food insecurities. In order to help connect Algebra with their daily lives, we will be kicking off a food planning project after fall break. The Financial Literacy kit includes a classroom set of books that will help kickoff this great project. Books included are: Salt Napkin Finance Making Lemonade Using Math in Cooking After the kickoff, students will work in groups to pick a few recipes from a cookbook. They will turn the recipes into algebraic expressions. Using a set budget, they write equations to determine the maximum number of servings they can afford to make. They will repeat this process until each group identifies the recipe that is both tasty and affordable. Each group will present one recipe and share the equation and solution with the class. As a class, students will vote for the group that came up with the best recipe. To test what we have learned, students will be given a list of budget items and a mock monthly salary. They will have to create an equation for the monthly budget. As a wrap-up to the project, I will cook the class recipe choice and we will have a celebration of our hard work!
