Today S2J made jelly. We had ingredients that we mixed together. The ingredients were:
- 1 packet jelly crystals
- 200mL cold water
- 250mL hot boiling water
When we opened the jelly crystals we tipped them into a bowl. We had to be careful pouring the boiling water into bowl with the jelly crystals. We stirred and stirred until the jelly crystals dissolved into the water. We put the liquid jelly into f0am cups and Ms Finos put the cups onto a tray and took them to the fridge. Tomorrow is the last day of school so we are going to eat the jelly then because we need to freeze it over night.

Today we made a maths game which helped us understand the connection between fractions, decimals and percentages. We split into groups of 3, made the games, played them to make sure they worked and then shared the games amongst the groups.

We wrote our own procedures to explain how to make and play the game. This procedure was written by Robert.
How to make a Fraction Game
You will need:
- 3 different coloured pieces of cardboard (4 of each colour)
- lead pencils or texta
Method:
1. Cut the cardboard into meduim sized rectangles.
2. Write a fraction on 1 card, a decimal on a another coloured card and a percentage on another colour. Make sure that the numbers match.
How to play
1. Turn the cards over so that the numbers can’t be seen.
2. Take turns to flip over 3 different coloured cards. If they match, keep the cards. If they don’t match flip them back over.
The winner is the person with the most cards after all cards have been matched.
