In small groups, they carefully measured ingredients, converted between millilitres and litres, and calculated how to adjust their recipes for different group sizes. Students did amazing and confidently applied their mathematical understanding in this hands-on activity.
It sure was a fun and vibrant end to the topic – and the mocktails were a big hit!
