Baking with Rm16 Streamed Math Class

We have been learning about fractions and ratios. We worked in groups to identify the amount of ingredients we would need to make each person a single serve of lolly cake. We had to use the original recipe and divide it into quarters or thirds, depending on the number of people in our group. Some of the things we had to take into consideration and work out were:
- The number of biscuits a 250g packet has.
- 1 pack of Eskimos has approximately 18 pieces and 3 pieces is approximately 25g.
- 1 can of condensed milk is 395g, but you need 1/2 can for 16 serves.
- The equivalent of ½ a cup of coconut in mls.

We worked together to gather the ingredients. We carefully (kind of) measured out the condensed milk, butter and coconut. We had fun making our lolly cake. We think it was successful since everyone ended up with enough for 1 person to eat.
