The following standards were taken from the Connecticut State Department of Education Mathematics Curriculum Framework Matrix
4.2 Analyze data sets to form hypotheses and make predictions.
3.3 Develop and apply units, systems, formulas and appropriate tools to estimate and measure.
The following curriculum standard was taken from the Connecticut State Department of Education Language Arts Curriculum Framework Matrix.
3.2 Students prepare, publish and/or present work appropriate to audience, purpose and task (the second grade substandard states that students will) research information from multiple sources for a specific purpose.
This unit meets Connecticut State Department of Education Mathematical Curriculum standards 4.3 and 3.3. Throughout this unit, students are asked to make predictions and hypothesis and to discuss expected outcomes of experiments involving cooking, and then test those predictions through experimentation. Students will also be expected to use data to drive their decision making. Students will use standard units of measure to follow a procedure in order to bake cookies. This unit also addresses Language Arts standard 3.2 through the final paper for the project, and the readings and experimental research throughout the unit.
