This isn't really a question most people ask, but I have to! There is this extra credit for each subject Social Studies, math, Science, LA, etc. The one's I don't have good grades on are Math and Language Arts. My father is leaving on a trip tomorrow, so I don't have a lot of time. Which is quicker, I take a while to cook and am not great at math, but Language Arts is hard because it'll take a whole operation to go to the library and take pictures of books. Probably half a day at least.
Cook or bake something with
the help of an adult. Send us a
picture and a paragraph
telling us how you used math
while cooking.
Go to the library 2 times. Send
us a picture of your two
favorite books from your
trips.
Please help me!
Cooking one dish will take less than a half day.
Thanks! Does Mexican bean salad count as cooking? I want to make that and then say that I used fractions to measure the sauce in it.
Good idea! :-)
cottage cheese topped with peaches counts. A lettuce leaf on the bottom makes it count.
Based on your constraints and the time you have available, let's break down the tasks and see which option might be quicker for you:
1. Cooking or Baking:
- Find a simple recipe that you can cook or bake with the help of an adult.
- While cooking or baking, you can use math in various ways, such as measuring ingredients, setting cooking temperatures, and calculating cooking times.
- Take a picture of your dish and write a paragraph explaining how you used math during the process.
2. Going to the Library:
- Going to the library can be time-consuming, especially if it requires two trips.
- You mentioned taking pictures of books; instead of physically going to the library, you could search for books online or use e-books available through digital libraries.
- Select two books that you find interesting or relevant to your Language Arts subject.
- Take a screenshot or download pictures of the book covers and create a paragraph explaining why you chose those two particular books.
Considering your limited time and the potential time-consuming nature of going to the library, it seems that cooking or baking with the help of an adult would be the quicker option for you. Find a recipe that interests you, gather the necessary ingredients, and enjoy creating a dish while incorporating math skills.
Remember, the most important thing is to have fun, be creative, and showcase your understanding of how you use math in everyday life. Good luck with your extra credits!
