Monday Morning Maths - Muffin Madness 5th March 2012

Last week in Maths we looked at reading scales and estimating weight. This week we are looking at converting measurement units. We were given a fruit muffin recipe with the ingredients written in kilograms and litres. Our first task was to convert the kg into g and the l into ml so that we could use the measuring tools to get the correct measures of our ingredients. We were split up into 4 teams (Mad muffins, Magic Muffins, Magnificent Muffins and Munchy Muffins). Mr Van Geffen wanted to join in too so he was Mr. Marvellous Muffin. With very little assistance we had to work in our teams to convert units, read scales, measure accurately and work together to make a batch of muffins. Have a look at the slideshow below to see us in action.

Reflection Questions:

What did you do to make sure you finished your muffin making process in time with your group? We made sure that some of the people in our group cleared up while some finished up the muffins. Mubarak Did you manage to work in a group successfully? If yes `How` and if not `What do you need to do to improve. Yes, because of Mr Vangeffen said when he was judging our muffins. Mubarak What contribution did you make? I want to say that I loved the idea of making the muffins. Mubarak
