M3.4.4 For the adult
Finding one first
A recipe makes 4 flat breads with 240 g of flour. How much flour do I need for 10 flat breads?
What this chapter teaches
To change a recipe, find the amount for one by dividing, then multiply by the number you want. Adding the same number to both amounts does not work.
Three questions to ask
There is no one right wording. Listen for the idea.
- If 4 flat breads need 240 g of flour, how much does 1 flat bread need?
- Why can you not add 6 g of flour for 6 more flat breads?
- How could you check your answer for 10 flat breads another way?
After the chapter, the learner can
- Find the amount for one, then for any number
- Scale a recipe for 4 flat breads up to 10 flat breads
What they copy into their notebook
Find the amount for one by dividing. Then multiply to get the amount you want. Do not add the same number to both amounts. Check with one more example.
