The stations need to be set up to include:

At each station there is a single jump rope, pencil, division sheet, and multiplication sheet. The students divide the recipe in half while the partner is jumping rope. They switch when completed. Then the students multiply the recipe by two and switch when completed.
When finished in the kitchen they take their work to their manager for work approval. While the manager is checking their work they run around the "Block" (the gym).
