Ενότητα: Solving Problems
Learning targetsTo work in groups.To understand the different
currency existing in some countries
To realize than products’ prizes differ from one country to another
To practise in calculations with money
Regent's Park Children's Centre posted photos of their traditional breakfast dishes and posted products’ prices
We read the recipes and noticed that in England they don’t use euros but Great Britain Pounds
Although we talked about GBP, all calculations were done in euros
We read the recipe and translated the ingredients
Then we made a list
We used plasticine to symbolize theingredients
Making 3 packs of half a dozen of eggs
Making 3 packs with 8 sausages each one
Making 20 slices of bread
Making a pack of bacon
Let’s estimate the cost of eggs TOTALLY (89cents+89cents+89cents)
Let’s estimate the cost of the sausages TOTALLY (66cents+66cents)
3 packs of half a dozen eggs= 178cents
400 grams of bread=50 cents
1 packet of mushrooms=90cents
1 pack of bacon= 1euro 50cents
Each team gets money to pay for the ingredients they have selected
Sausages cost 132 cents.For a second we have mixed
cents and euros and we thought that sausages cost
132 eurosStudents insisted that they had
money enough to pay 132 euros but after we talked they realized that paying 132 for 18 sausages is too much money.
So we explained that after adding cents and cents the result will always be cents
132 cents= 100 cents + 32 cents 1euro
Then each team drew on the whiteboard the coins they had selected before
Finally we counted them
Finally we played “The supermarket”
