About This Lesson
For more able 2nd graders - may be suitable for older children. An investigation to help my class practice finding fractions of quantities. I told children that I baked three different things; but unfortunately I'd lost the recipes; so didn't know how much of each ingredient to use for next time. What I did know was the weight of the whole bag when it was full (500g bag of flour) and the fraction of each ingredient that I used (1/4 of that bag). Children have to write my recipe. Second sheet in each doc is an extension activity where children have to work out the cost of each ingredient.
