This term in Maths, Year 3 and 4 have been working together to plan, budget and create a Lemonade Stand from scratch. We have been stretching our mathematical thinking creating this fun event.
- 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.
We will be opening up the Lemonade Stand for students on Monday 26 November. I am looking for 6 parent helpers to help us out for this particular event. You will be stationed to one group to help them make their drinks and distribute the drinks to the students. We will be selling the drinks during our recess time (10:30 to 10:50) but if you can arrive at 9:30 am to help set up and stay until 11:30 to help pack up, that would be greatly appreciated.
Please email the school if you are able to help us out for this event.
Kind regards,
Michelle Brixen
