Year 6 Maths Day Cookery

For maths day in year 6 we began the day with some food technology, making three types of soup from a WWII rationing recipe book! We used imperial measures such as pints and ounces to weigh out the correct ingredients. While it simmered, we took part in a trading game activity to see which group could speculate to accumulate and make the most profit in a given time. For this task, accuracy was key as they had to make 2D shapes to meet a given specification. Our winners were group C, whose profit topped £3000! In addition to this, our maths ambassadors prepared and led some fun games with a maths focus over break time and lunch time. A very well done to them for all of their hard work!
