Mom's matzo ball soup

Passover is one of the three high holidays in the Jewish calendar and celebrates the Exodus of Jews from slavery in Egypt. Let your students review fractions in this investigation on tripling my mom's recipe and trying to use the recipe to create one humongous matzo ball. Passover always begins on the 14th day of Nissan on the Hebrew calendar, but that day translates to a range of Spring days in the Gregorian calendar.
