Today is....

the day my Level 2 students set up their projects for judging...a trophy will be given to the best project...I see some great work going on!

Level 1 students are struggling with business math...funny how 10th and 11th grade high school students have a hard time applying what they learned in 8th grade pre-algebra to a real-world situation...(recipe conversion, recipe costing)


With much individualized instruction, my students managed to convert their recipes yield by 2 and by 1/2, find metric equivalents, and cost out the recipe and cost per portion. It may not be the most enjoyable part of management, but math IS important for a successful foodservice operation.
