National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics by encouraging practical application of mathematical concepts through real-life problem-solving, measurement, and calculations.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce the topic of bread making, including the importance of measurements in cooking. Discuss the main ingredients and tools required.
2	Ingredients Overview	5	Present the ingredients and their quantities. Discuss how to measure ingredients correctly. Use mathematical calculations to determine the amounts needed based on a given recipe.
3	Measuring Practice	10	Allow students to work in pairs to practice measuring out ingredients for a simple bread recipe. Provide worksheets for recording their measurements.
4	Mixing and Preparation	5	Guide students in mixing the ingredients in groups. Instruct them on the process of kneading the dough while reinforcing the importance of measuring ingredients accurately.
5	Discussion and Reflection	3	Gather students to reflect on their experience. Discuss what measurements were critical and how they applied their mathematical skills.
6	Homework Assignment	2	Distribute the homework sheet, which includes a recipe and questions about measurements and conversions. Ensure students understand that they will submit it without presenting in front of the class.

Homework

• Complete the homework sheet focusing on a different bread recipe, requiring students to calculate ingredient amounts based on varying serving sizes and conversions. Submit the completed sheet for review without presenting it in class.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during the measuring and mixing activities.
• Review the completed homework sheets for understanding and application of measurement concepts.

Notes

Ensure that any allergies or dietary requirements are acknowledged before proceeding with the lesson. Prepare alternatives if necessary.
