Reebee APP, math, healthy living, and dinners for a week!

Here is the assignment.

Use the  APP reebee and plan a menu of dinners for one week. Pretend you are feeding a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children).  Please consider Canada’s Food Guide (vegetables and fruit, grain products, milk and alternatives, meat and alternatives, oils and fats, beverages).  Make sure your menu is balanced.  You may plan for a dessert each day.  Complete the chart below.
Use this government of Canada’s web site:

My students couldn't wait to do this assignment! Everyone was engaged.     Many student searched several flyers to look for the best deals and were amazed at the cost of food.  The task also prompted discussion about oils and fats, and questions like, "Is a tomatoe a fruit or vegetable".

Lots of fun!
