Recipe Scale-Up | Iconic Games Year 4

Illustrated Year 4 Word Workshop for exploring words and language.

ENGLISH

Prefix Mixer: un-, dis-, re-

01 · Workshop

Let’s investigate the words for Recipe Scale-Up. Look for what changes, then explain what you notice.

WHAT AM I LEARNING?

Build words with the prefixes un-, dis- and re- and explain how each prefix changes the base-word meaning.

YOUR MISSION

Build and match: re + heat → reheat, re + fill → refill, re + use → reuse, un + wrap → unwrap, un + pack → unpack, dis + like → dislike. Match each prefix to its meaning: re- = again; un- = not or reverse an action; dis- = not or opposite.

TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA

A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a word. It changes the word’s meaning.

STEP 1Read or tap each word.
STEP 2Look closely at the word part the mission is teaching.
STEP 3Sort, build or compare the words.
STEP 4Explain the pattern in your own words.

PRACTISE · Try the words

Tap words to collect and compare them.

What pattern did you notice?Tell what changes in the word and what the change does.

Following Recipe Steps & Quantities

02 · Library

Read the Recipe Scale-Up information first. Talk the idea through, then answer one small question at a time.

WHAT AM I LEARNING?

Identify sequence, quantities and purpose in a recipe text.

YOUR MISSION

What happens after the mixture is mixed? Which ingredients are measured in cups? Why are the steps numbered?

Need help? See the steps

TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA

Your purpose is why you are writing.

STEP 1Read once to understand what it is mostly about.
STEP 2Read the question again and find the part that helps.
STEP 3Say your answer aloud using because, then check it against the text.
STEP 4Record a useful clue from the source.
STEP 5Explain what that clue tells you.

TEACH · Read this first

STEP 1Say what you are making.
STEP 2List what is needed and the quantities.
STEP 3Write five steps in order.
STEP 4Start steps with clear doing words such as mix, add, place or check.

NEED TO GET YOUR IDEAS READY?

Choose any way that helps. These are optional — you can always do the whole mission on screen.

ON SCREEN — use the planning boxes below.PEN & PAPER — if you want to, draw or jot your ideas first.SAY IT OUT LOUD — explain your idea to yourself before writing.TALK IT THROUGH — if someone is available, you can talk with a friend, sibling, whānau member or adult.

PRACTISE · Plan it one step at a time

STEP 1What am I making?STEP 2What is needed?STEP 3My ordered stepsSTEP 4How I will finish

CREATE · PUT IT TOGETHERPut it togetherUse the ideas from your plan, paper, or what you said out loud. You can change them as you write.

SELF-CHECK · Check your work

I made the goal clear.I included what is needed.I wrote the required steps in order.I used clear doing words.I read it back and it makes sense.

This checklist helps you check your work. You do not have to tick every box to submit — the mission check looks at the work you created.

WHAT AM I LEARNING?

Scale quantities, find unit fractions of whole numbers and find a whole amount when a unit fraction is known.

YOUR MISSION

1) Double 3 cups 2) Half of 14 3) 1/4 of 20 4) If 1/4 of a batch is 5 scones, how many scones are in the whole batch?
