Dear 3WL Parents,
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 (bayviewoffice@stlukes.nsw.edu.au) if you are able to help us
out for this event.
Wendy Lucas
