Teachers, save “Fraction Scavenger Hunt” to assign it to your class.

I found a 1/2 cup measuring cup. If I was cooking and a recipe called for a half cup of something and my 1/2 cup was dirty I could make and equivalent fraction 1/2 = 2/4 and use a 1/4 cup instead. I would just have to use two of those to equal the same amount as 1/2 cup. I also found a pancake mix that had a 1/2 cup serving size. I would have to find out how many people I was going to make pancakes for and then multiply 1/2 by that number to find out how much mix to use. If I was going to make pancakes for all four people in my family I would do 4 x 1/2 = 4/2 and that would equal 2 cups. So I would use 2 cups of the pancake mix.
