Royal Wedding Maths Lesson

**L.O: **I can apply my mathematics skills to practical problem solving.

S.C

• I can choose the perfect wedding venue using my knowledge of area and perimeter.
• I can find the correct measurements for the wedding cake using my knowledge of shapes
• I can select the cheapest option out of two given options.
• I can apply all my mathematical skills effectively.
• I can present my work at a high standard.
• I can work effectively and collaboratively in a group.

Curriculum Links:
Number:
• Solve number and practical problems that recognising numbers, addition, multiplication and division.
• Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.

Geometry:
• Illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius.
• To be able to work out the perimeter, area, circumpherence, diameter and the volume of shapes.

Ratio and proportion:
• Solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples.

Following the latest news report that Meghan Markle’s dad has had to pull out of the wedding, I have created a maths lesson for Year 6. As their SATs are finished it would be nice for them to start project like activites.

This puts the pupils in place of the wedding planner meaning that they have to use a range of mathematical skills.

They work in groups and give a formal presentation at the end explaining their working out and the reasons for making the choices they have.

They will do this lesson Friday so there is an emphasis of there only being one day left so they have to work quickly and efficiently.

I hope you enjoy this!

I have attached a detailed lesson plan which makes everything clear.
