Hard at Work

Today we started our new topic in Maths: Proportions and Ratios.
What do these terms mean?
When would I use this in the real world?
How do I keep things in the right proportions?

See if your kids can answer these questions and check their understanding.

I am making a super duper yummy punch.
The perfect recipe has 2 Cups 7-Up and 3 Cups juice.
But I am having a party and I want 20 cups of punch in total.
How much of each drink do I need?
Lots of great discussion, thinking and collaborating was happening...and maybe a touch of silliness!
