As an extension of creating the menu, they will also be asked to cook or at least help prepare one of the meals on their menu for your family! The meal can be modified in any way (ie. if the menu calls for raspberries and you do not have raspberries, please feel free to replace them with anything you wish). Parents are asked to be an active part of the preparation, cooking and cleaning up process. You can assist them in any way that you see fit. They have been told to take into consideration any dietary needs or restrictions, and to make the meal as healthy as they possibly can. You have until January 15th, 2018 to complete this task.

Helpful Hints

Perimeter= add up all the sides of a shape

Area of a rectangle= Length x Width               

Area of a triangle= Base x Height ÷2

Area of a parallelogram= Base x Height

Volume of a rectangular prism= Length x Width x height

Volume of a triangular prism= Length x Width x Height ÷2

Surface area is the total area of all of the faces or surfaces - Remember this will be done in 3 different steps 

1. Select the most appropriate unit to measure each length or distance.

a) the thickness of a math text book

b) the thickness of your finger nail

c) the height of a maple tree

d) the lengths of the leaves of the tress
