Lesson Five – Fruit Cocktails
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explain and model how to convert a range of capacities between litres and millilitres when mixing the ingredients that are needed to make some different drinks.
The class can identify and explain the number calculations that they can use when converting some of the different cocktail drinks that they have selected between units for capacity.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explain and model how to convert a range of capacities between litres and millilitres when mixing the ingredients that are needed to make some different drinks
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to select and record different ingredients for cocktail drinks and find the total capacities in litres by converting each of the measurement from millilitres using number calculation techniques.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to convert capacities between litres and millilitres when mixing ingredients for different drinks.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to solve a selection of contextual problems by comparing and converting between different units of measurement for mass, length and capacity. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
