This is a presentation of my students calculating the cost of an english breakfast.

1. Global Economy
Traditional Breakfast
How much does it cost?

2. Δραστηριότητα που υλοποιήθηκε στο
πλαίσιο του eTwinning Project:
“Learning to live like Global citizens”
Ενότητα: Solving Problems

3. Learning targets
 To work in groups.
 To understand the different currency
existing in some countries
 To realize than products’ prizes differ
from one country to another
 To practise in calculations with money

4.  Regent's Park Children's Centre
posted photos of their traditional
breakfast dishes and posted products’
prices

6.  We read the recipes and noticed that
in England they don’t use euros but
Great Britain Pounds
 Although we talked about GBP, all
calculations were done in euros

7. We read the recipe and
translated the ingredients

10. Then we made a list

14. We used plasticine to symbolize
the
ingredients

15. Making 3 packs of half a dozen
of eggs

16. Making 3 packs with 8 sausages
each one

17. Making 20 slices of bread

18. Making a pack of bacon

19. Let’s estimate the cost of eggs
TOTALLY
(89cents+89cents+89cents)

20. Let’s estimate the cost of the
sausages TOTALLY
(66cents+66cents)

21. 3 packs of half a dozen eggs=
178cents

22. 400 grams of bread=50 cents

23. 1 packet of
mushrooms=90cents

24. 1 pack of bacon= 1euro
50cents

25. Each team gets money to pay for
the ingredients they have
selected

29.  Sausages cost 132 cents.
 For a second we have mixed cents
and euros and we thought that
sausages cost
132 euros
 Students insisted that they had money
enough to pay 132 euros but after we
talked they realized that paying 132
for 18 sausages is too much money.

30. So we explained that after
adding cents and cents the result
will always be cents

31. 132 cents= 100 cents + 32 cents
1euro

32. Then each team drew on the
whiteboard the coins they had
selected before

35. Finally we counted them

36. Finally we played “The
supermarket”
