Outline

**Introduction of Problem:**

 The problem will be introduced by bringing in cookies for the class and showing them the recipe I used to make it. I will show them the instructions as well as the serving sizes. We will have an informal conversation about serving sizes and when you might need to adjust the serving size of a recipe. From there, the problem for the unit will be introduced explaining to the class they will be venturing into the business of selling baked goods.
