Making Jello using fractions 3/8

Today we made two batches of pudding. One was good and the other was bad. Why? Because we messed up the recipe on purpose. Since we are working with fractions and will soon be learning measurement, we made pudding because recipes include fractions and if we mess it up, we get a nasty tasting dish!

Here are some after photos!
