Students in Mrs. Liversidge's fifth grade class saved their school from having to eat brussel sprouts for lunch! During math class, they were informed that the cafeteria's refrigerators were left open overnight and all the food had spoiled, unless, they could "breakout" the list of ingredients needed for lunch, or they would be doomed!

Students immediately grouped up to tackle the locks on the box then used recipe ingredients and conversions from teaspoons to tablespoons and cups to half cups (utilizing their newly learned skills of multiplying fractions). Students were also able to open a lock by finding fractions of whole numbers when looking at fruits and using their investigative skills.

For the final lock, the class decided to come together and solve which turned out to be the challenging fraction simplification puzzles. Time was ticking down from one minute and the class was shouting out lock combinations as they solved the final clues to ultimately open the box in the final seconds!
