Today we used our knowledge of money to calculate the costs of the ingredients to make a banana loaf. We calculated that each loaf would cost £2.50 to make. We then baked banana loaves using some fairtrade ingredients.
In class we sliced the loaves in to 1/10s and then calculated the price of each slice. We decided we would add 10p to each slice if we were selling, making a total profit of £1 per loaf. Then we all got to eat a delicious warm slice !
We are learning how to leave a comment on our blog.
Very enterprising P3/4!
I bet the banana bread was delicious – well done ; )
Wow! I love this. Maths in a real life context! Shame we didn’t get to try the banana loaf. It looks delicious! I’m trying to persuade Eoin to make it at home! 🤞🏼
The banana loaf looks lovely 🙂 and good maths to work out the pricing. (Callum’s mum)
Looks like great teamwork and lots of happy smiling faces! I hope it tasted as nice as it looks 😋
Great to see everyday life skills being brought into the class room and putting their maths into context! Laird loves making banana loaf at home, wants to make it again this weekend! Hope it was yummy!
William says the banana loaf was delicious.. we will give a try to making some at home.
Looks tasty, and what a fun way to do maths! Michelle, Corey’s mum
