What wonderful smells fill the air when someone is baking in the kitchen. Making great treats to share with your classmates is fun, but the problem is some recipes won’t make enough. We may have to double or triple them in order to have enough. What you make is up to you, but remember, it’s all about sharing in the end. Let the fun begin!

Listen to the teacher read Pigs in the Pantry. Use the internet to locate recipes to try. Once recipes are found you will have to work with your group to decide which three to make, but remember you have to double or triple your recipe so the whole class can have some.

This WebQuest was created to use with Special Education students.

Great way to get students to work together for a common goal.

Could make the groups find recipes for a whole meal (main dish, sides, dessert) instead of recipes of choice.

Could also work with multiplying fractions.
