2/4

3/5

4/8

5/10

3/4 cup is equivalent to:

🎯 Part 4: Recipe Scaling Word Problems

5. Sarah wants to make Anzac biscuits for her class of 24 students. The original recipe serves 4 people. How many times bigger should she make the recipe?
6. If the original recipe uses 1/2 cup of oats, how many cups will Sarah need for 24 students? Show your working:
7. Tom has 1 1/2 cups of flour. The pavlova recipe needs 3/4 cup of flour. Can he make a double batch? Explain your reasoning:

🧠 Part 5: Fraction Reasoning

8. Match each fraction operation with its correct result:
1. 1/3 × 2
2. 2/3 ÷ 2
3. 1/4 × 3
4. 3/4 ÷ 3
A. 1/4
B. 2/3
C. 3/4
D. 1/3
9. Explain in your own words why 2/4 and 1/2 are equivalent fractions. Use a cooking example:
10. Draw a visual representation showing how 1/2 cup and 2/4 cup are the same amount:

🏠 Part 6: Real-Life Application

11. Create your own scaling problem using a favourite Kiwi recipe or treat. Write the original amounts and then scale it up or down:

My recipe: _________________________

Original serves: _______ people

I want to serve: _______ people
