KS2 Maths Food on a budget

These lessons are suitable for upper KS2.

Opportunities are given to pupils to think of their favourite meals writing down the ingredients needed, checking the recipe and given a budget to role play buying the ingredients across different supermarkets.
Pupils would also gain an understanding of VAT, working out the VAT on food produce. Towards the end of the week, pupils will be given a budget to plan a week’s family menu, and evaluate the prices across the different supermarkets constructing tally charts, pie charts and graphs to evaluate the data collected. The four days of lessons are all prepared on one PPP listing all resources and website needed for teaching. Two characters Charlie and Lee have been used to ask questions to the children or giving a statement that the children will have to answer using stem sentences (that you are using in your class) in giving their explanations and reasonings

Feedback and comments would be appreciated, Thank you in advance.
