Fraction Sundaes

Here's a sweet way to learn fractions: open your own ice cream parlor. I cut out lots of ice cream scoops and then gave the kids recipes that "customers" ordered, like 1/6 mint, 3/6 chocolate, and 2/6 bubble gum. We also practiced reducing fractions, but I started to lose them at that point. Afterwards we made our own real ice cream sundaes! The kids had so much fun making sundaes. Here they are with their notebook pages they made with their dream recipes.
