Our Lemonade Stand was a success this week! Throughout this term, the students worked collaboratively to plan, budget and create a lemonade stand from scratch. We definitely have been stretching our mathematical thinking creating this fun event.
You will see some photos of the students using their mathematical thinking to create this lemonade stand. These are the mathematical concepts we needed to use:
- We had to work out the area of the handball court to determine how many tables can fit there.
- We had to work out the perimeter of the paper to determine how big to make our signs.
- We had to work out how many millilitres and litres cups and jugs hold to determine how much liquid can fit in these containers.
- We had to use multiplication of whole numbers and fractions to determine how much supplies we needed to purchase if doubling or tripling the recipe.
- We had to work out the cost of all the materials we need to buy to determine the cost of each drink.
Here are some photos of the Year 3 and 4 students creating their lemonade stand and selling their delicious drinks!
