SNACK MIX


Sunshine State Standards


MA.6.A.1.3

 

Notes to the Teacher


Children may be told the number of students in the class if they ask. Try not to use a number that is a multiple of three. This makes the problem too easy.

Directions:


Your class is having an activity that includes refreshments. Your job is to plan a special snack mix for the class. Each student will get 2/3 cup of this mix. You must use at least 3 ingredients from the list below, but you may use more. Use fractions but do not use equal amounts for any two ingredients. List the ingredients you have chosen and the total amount of each ingredient to make the snack for the whole group.


List of ingredients:

Cereal
Chocolate chips
Coconut
Marshmallows
Peanuts
Popcorn
Pretzels
Raisins
