Ratatouille - The film and the food!

Having studied l'histoire de Paris (the history of Paris) this half term we decided to take a look at the film Ratatouille as it is set in the city itself. Following this it seemed only natural to incorporate some instructional text about how to make ratatouille, which was a typical peasant meal eaten all over France in the 18th century.






Guess what we did next? Yep, we followed our own instructions and actually cooked a huge pan of delicious ratatouille. See evidence below..

         

 

Presenting the Data! (without eating it)

     

Ok, so we handed the children a plate of 24 various coloured skittles and set them the challenge of 'Presenting the Data' in any which mathematical way they liked.






Seem like a load of nonsense? Not so. The children came up with all sorts of excellent ideas including; different charts and graphs; ratio & proportion; fractions of all types; symmetrical images caught on the photo booth app plus lots, lots more besides.






Let us blow you away with our results!

      


 

Symmetrical Illusions

In maths today children used the 'Photo Booth' app on their iPads to create some illusions using symmetry. Have a look at these photos and see if you notice anything unusual....

 Nothing strange about this one eh?
