I put a comments bar at he bottom of this page to provide comments each week for each module. Let me know if this will work or if something else would be better!
 * Module 2:**

**Logistics**
 * Unit Title: The Bake Sale
 * Grade Level: 6th Grade
 * Subject (e.g., English, Math): Mathematics
 * Duration (e.g., 3–5 days): 7 - 10 days

**Goals**
 * Problem: State the problem that you will use as a focus for your PBL instructional unit.

You and your friends have decided you want to create a business for yourselves. All of you have come to an agreement that the business will be a baked goods store. However, before you start, you decide to hold a bake sale in thirty days to test people’s response to your recipes. Before you have your bake sale, some challenges exist:
 * 1) You will need to find a place to hold a bake sale. Ideally, you will need to have somewhere that will be large enough to display and sell your items. Also, you will need to consider finding a location which allows you to refrigerate, warm, or store your baked goods.
 * 2) Because your funds are limited, you do not want to be left with too many extra baked goods. You may have to adjust the amount of ingredients in your product to make more or less baked goods.
 * 3) Take the time to test the pricing of your goods. You do not want to turn away people from high prices, but also want to find a good price at which your sales will be profitable.


 * Technology Standard: Review the NETS-S technology standards in Chapter 2 (Table 2.1, p. 32). Notice that the standards are divided into grade-level groups, with 10 standards for each level. Select the standards for your grade level, and identify one standard you want to use in your PBL instructional unit. If your state has technology standards, you may choose to use one of those standards instead.

 NETS-S 3, 4, 6. Grades 6-8 (11-14): Select and use the appropriate tools and digital resources to accomplish a variety of tasks and to solve problems.


 * Content Standard: Your state or district has content standards or benchmarks for your content area. Identify one or two content standards you want to use as the content for your PBL instructional unit.

N.FL.06.04: Multiply and divide any two fractions, including mixed numbers fluently.  N.ME.06.11: Find equivalent ratios by scaling up or down.

Identify an authentic problem to serve as the focus of your instructional unit, and post it on the page of your wiki titled **Home**. Form a learning community of three or four students to review and provide feedback to one another’s work. Send an e-mail to your Instructor sharing the members of your group. Once your learning community has been approved by your Instructor, invite each member to join your wiki using the management tool in your wiki.

//*Because this is my first experience with PBL, I'm not sure if I'm on the right track with defining a prolbem. Is it too much, too little? Please feel free to give me any feedback.//
