7th: Write and answer your own proportion task modeled after the Suzette and Margo we did in class on Monday.
Example Task: Suzette and Margo want to prepare crêpes for all of the students in their French class. A recipe makes 20 crêpes with a certain amount of flour, milk, and 2 eggs. The girls already know that they have plenty of flour and milk to make 50 crêpes, but they need to determine the number of eggs they will need for the recipe because they are not sure they have enough. a. Considering the amount of eggs necessary to make the crêpes, what is the constant of proportionality? b. What does the constant or proportionality mean in the context of this problem? c. How many eggs are needed to make 50 crêpes?
8th: Write at least 2 of your own verbal expressions and the algebraic answer with them. Try to make them a little challenging for your peers to solve.
