Maths- Baking

Over the past couple of weeks in Maths, we have been looking at Mass, Volume, and Capacity. Today we got to use some of the things we have learned to do some baking. We looked at measuring the ingredients using kilograms, grams, teaspoons, and milliliters. We used some Halloween cutters to create the shapes of the biscuits. We then got to ice them in fun and colourful ways and then finally eat them! It was a fun way to finish off our Maths unit.

Maths

Lately in Maths we have been looking at Mass, Volume, and Capacity. Today we did a fun activity where we had to design a boat only using tinfoil. The aim was to see which boat would hold the most marbles before sinking. It was interesting to see the different shapes and designs of the boats. We found out the boats that held the most were the lighter boats with larger surface areas. The boats lasted longer if the marbles were evenly distributed throughout the boat. It was a fun activity that we all enjoyed.
