Maths in Y7 Food Technology

 My Year 7 class on Friday were making chocolate brownies. This was going to be the first time they were going to be measuring out the ingredients themselves as prior to this week, I had everything weighed out ready in bowls for them. They also get a printed version of the recipe in their kitchens to refer to while they are working.

The recipe is set up on the class site here, with extra reading and videos to watch.

The recipe calls for using the measuring jug for 1/2 cups, 1 cup and 1 1/2 cups of ingredients. Some of the measuring jugs had it marked as 1/2 and some had it measured as 0.5.

We had to have a conversation about the equivalent measurements of fractions and decimals.
