Hi there
Ive been teaching High School for 11 years. On here you will find resources for cooking, design, Art Computers, Industrial Arts and Literacy
MY TEACHING STYLE
I love putting a smile on my students faces. The most important thing is teaching little ones how to believe in themselves, that practice makes perfect and if they set their mind to it they can do anything.

Geometry
Design your own cookie packaging.
Part of the interdisciplinary unit, or great as a stand alone assessment. Cookie package allows students to explore their creativity and manufacturing skills.
They can make a design a box, make it and collaborate and bond in the process.
Excellent for project based learning, excellent for real world numeracy.
The assessment task below suited to these subjects: Technology , Food Technology and Entrepreneurship.
It covers design of the students own package on using software. Or if your school does not have access then sketching out a package using geometric shapes.
Students then come up with a modified cookie recipe (research a basic one to modify).
Then market and promote it like the Kidpreneur Mr Cory above.
I have run this with 4 classes, they love it and have come up with such different cookie projects every time.
It brings together all of your class, teaches them Maths, Literacy and how to talk about their ideas so there is some leadership in there too.
I really look forward to you using this and letting me know how you go.
Nothing makes me more happy than colourful cookies.
An interdisciplinary unit to make a cookie.
Cookie unit gets students to design and produce their own unique cookie, design a package for it and then advertise it with a 30 second pitch to investors like the shark tank program.

Make a cookie, package and advertisement. A great cross curricular, wholistic authentic project based learning unit outline for the semester.
It covers literacy and numeracy as well.
