Before you begin it may be a good idea to show the children the measuring utensils that you are going to use. Some measuring cups have multiple cups in them. There are also measuring cups that come as individual amount for 1 cup, 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 cup.

It is best to do this activity with one cup that has measurements written on it. If you have the individual ones you can add different math activities before you start cooking.

For example:

•    How many of the 1/2 cups fit into the whole cup

•    How many of the 1/4 cups fit into the 1/2 or the whole etc.

    Our DPS Masterchef is going to involve a series of recipes for you to make with your family at home. Each recipe will have some specific maths learning that you can talk to your children about.

    At the end of the series, you will be invited to a shared lunch where you can bring a plate of your favourite recipe for everyone to try!

    The recipes can be picked up from Hayley in Room 9 on Tuesdays each week or found at the DPS website under: Blogs, then Masterchef.
