Reply To: Lesson 7-4: Bringing It All Together – Discussion

I loved the Cookie Monster video from an earlier module because it reminded me how much fun math can actually be when we add a little mystery or a fun storyline. In keeping with that I would use the Reece’s peanut butter cup task because I think my students would be really engaged by the idea of eating that many candy bars. I particularly like the Day 4 content of determining the amount of calories in 250 candy bars. I would want my students to be able to create some ratios and a rate based on this information because they just need some basic practice doing this.
