Worksheet Questions:
1. How many trick-or-treaters can Miss Fiona feed if she made pies with all the
pumpkins “rolling out the door?” Look at overhead projection to see the illustration in
the book to count all of the pumpkins on that page. (Hint: One pumpkin makes one
pie that usually serves 8.) Show your work and write the answer below.
2. If Miss Fiona wants to mix up the pie filling for 3 pies at a time, how much of each
ingredient will she use? Convert the measurements in your recipe, show your work,
and write the answers below.
3. Greater than, less than, or equal? Compare the following measurements. Write a > or
< or = sign to show how these fractions are related:
1/4 ______ 1/3
2/6 ______ 3/4
2/4 ______ 1/2
2/3 ______ 1/2
2/8 ______ 1/4
1/2 ______ 3/4
4. (a) Put these ingredients from the real pumpkin pie recipe in order from least to
greatest, according to their measurements: 1 cup of packed light brown sugar, 1
tablespoon of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie
spice, and 1 can (12 fluid oz.) evaporated milk. (*Hint: look a the fluid measuring cup
to compare ounces with cups.)
(b)How did you decide where to put the can of evaporated milk on your list? Explain,
and/or show your work below.
***BONUS: How many cups are in a gallon of apple cider?
Answers:
1. Fiona’s 8 pumpkins in the illustration can feed 8 kids per pumpkin/pie, so...
8x8=64
2. Varies depending on student recipe.
3. 1/4 < 1/3 2/6 < 3/4 2/4 =1/2
2/3 > 1/2 2/8 = 1/4
1/2 < 3/4
4a. In order from least to greatest:
a.
1/2 tsp salt
b.
2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
c.
1 tbsp flour
d.
1 cup sugar
e.
1 can evaporated milk
4b. Varies depending on student. Many will estimate, some will check the measuring
cup that shows oz. and cups. (12 oz of evaporated milk = 1 1/2 cups)
BONUS:
2 cups in a pint, 2 pints in quart, 4 quarts in a gallon, therefore... 2x2x4=16 cups in a
gallon.
