Rainbow Jelly Maths - Part II

We completed our Rainbow Jelly maths learning by creating colourful layered jellies using our plans and measuring with cups, tablespoons and teaspoons. We 'sold' our jellies to the junior class - you can see that they really enjoyed eating them!

Rainbow Jelly Maths

Our maths strand unit this term is volume and capacity. As part of this we have been using teaspoons, tablespoons and cups to plan layered rainbow jellies that we will create, eat and sell. This week we have been planning and calculating the amount of millilitres of each colour we will need for each stripe in different shaped cups and jars. Next week, we create!
 
PLAN & CALCULATE
What colours will my layers be? How many layers do I want? How many millilitres will each layer be? What is the volume of my completed rainbow jelly?
