Year 8 Autumn 1 Lesson 11 Come Dine With MeObjectivePupils work in pairs to create a three course menu for a dinner party for 10 of their friends.AimStudents use ratio tables to calculate the amounts of each ingredient needed to make the recipes.The opportunity is taken here to introduce a functional element, with students having to make a shopping list for the ingredients and calculate the cost of purchasing the items.This is likely to take two lessons, although can be stretched to three if required with the Recipes exam questions.ResourcesCome Dine With Me Recipe BookletCome Dine With Me record bookletPowerpointAldi PricelistAsda Pricelist HYPERLINK "" Tesco PricelistOptionalUse a short (very carefully chosen!) video clip of Come DIne WIth Me from You TubeRecipes exam questionsActivity 1: Print out Slide two of the Powerpoint for students to fill in for the starter. They use the recipe for 12 muffins to find how much of each ingredient is needed for 8 muffins.Discuss possible strategies:Find 6 and 2, then add.Find 4, then double.Find 1, then multiply by 12.Find 2/3 to find 8 in one go.Students can use a calculator for this. They may decide that the unitary method is most efficient with a calculator, or finding 2/3. However, don’t lead a particular method – they could use whichever they prefer.All students should have the same answers regardless of method, which is a useful talking point.After they have finished, the most efficient method could be discussed.Activity 2: Optional - show a Come Dine With Me video clip to set the scene.Each pair is provided with a Come Dine With Me Recipe Booklet which has recipes for different courses, for varying numbers of people.They must create a three-course menu for a dinner party for 10 of their friends.(However, the work can be differentiated by having different numbers of guests at the dinner party. Most of the recipes are for 4 or six people, so a dinner party for 7 or 5 would be more difficult.It can also be differentiated or by giving a tight budget)This is likely to take more than one lesson. The Powerpoint is split like this:Lesson 1:Students choose which starter, main and dessert to make and fill in the ratio tables (in the recording booklet) for each course to determine how much of each ingredient is needed.Lesson 2:Students use their ratio tables to fill in their shopping lists. They must also calculate the cost using the attached price lists. They can choose which of the three supermarkets they choose. The finished results should be a poster display of their work which should include a menu card for the meal, their ratio tables, their shopping list and an overall price (with how much of their budget they have left over if they were given a budget) Some students might even make the recipes at home and take photos!Activity 1: Students use what they have learnt to answer the GCSE questions in the booklet. They should be encouraged to use ratio tables to set out, even if they only use one step.For starred questions, students should write a summary sentence to answer the questions. Questions for progressionCan you put the information in a ratio table?How can you break down/build up to the amount needed?Is your answer a sensible one? ................
