Think Before You Drink Maths Investigation

Apologies for this only being our first blog this year but may it be the first of many! Today we carried out an investigation to determine how many grams many popular soft drinks contain. We measured out the amount of sugar each drink contained and calculated this as a percentage, which we presented as a pie chart. 

Measuring out the sugar.

Wow! Imagine eating this much sugar!

Writing up the amounts of sugar to compare our findings.

We ordered our results based upon how much sugar each drink contained.

This work will be the inspiration behind our Maths homework this week. The homework investigation will be called"React Before You Snack!". You need to conduct your own investigation based around either salt or sugar content in a type of food, for example, salt content in crisps or sugar content in breakfast cereals, the choice is yours. You can present your findings how you like, using diagrams, tables, photographs, a presentation... As I appreciate this will take longer than your normal allocation of 20 minutes each week, I am allowing two weeks to complete this task so this task is due in on Thursday 21st May! Good luck.
