KS2 Maths - Using weights and measures

This film is from the series Let’s Do Maths available on BBC Teach.

In the home of the Measures family, Dad is making pancakes by following a recipe for 4 people, making enough for one pancake each.

The doorbell rings and two neighbours arrive. They are offered a pancake and then everyone else wants another one.

Dad must work out what quantities he will need to make enough mixture.

Three questions follow that ask him:

1. to double the recipe;
2. to work out quantities needed for six people,
3. and finally to solve the problem of how to make twelve pancakes using 20ml of maple syrup and how much will then be left from a 375ml bottle.
