=Maths Lesson 4 - Building on Success!=

All weekend we have been practising your 2 x table - you learned to make yorkshire pudding by using it as we have a doubling recipe. Remember the 2 x table is all about DOUBLING - just add 2 versions of the number together. So 2 x 9 becomes 9 + 9. Lets have a final practice before we move on.

Play the Hit the Button game using the 2 x table

I want to bake some bread tonight but I have people coming for dinner so I need a bit more than usual. My recipe is for a 1lb loaf but I want to make 2 of them.
 * Task**

Using your knowledge of the 2 x table write out the new amounts for the recipe below - remember everything needs to be doubled using your 2 times table.

1 egg 500g strong white bread flour 15 g salt 15 g sugar 15 g oil or butter 7g yeast

Sometimes I like to add cheese and seeds to my loaf - double my amounts of these.

30 g grated cheddar 30 g grated parmesan 15 g onion seeds 20 g sesame seeds 25 g poppy seeds

//James enjoyed this task and tackled it enthusiastically, of course now he wants to make bread so we will have to have another baking task tomorrow and follow it up with a practical!//



Be a speed freak and do this page of sums in Word - use a stopwatch to time yourself - here's a link to one.... And here is the sheet......
 * Bonus Task**

//This task was very unpopular - it reminded James of Mental Maths and was seen as a chore rather than a challenge. It took him just under 8 minutes to complete the 20 sums.//
