01 · WorkshopLet’s investigate the words for Recipe Scale-Up. Look for what changes, then explain what you notice.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
I can use subject-specific vocabulary accurately.
YOUR MISSION
Which term means to measure an ingredient’s mass?
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
Technical vocabulary is useful when it makes an explanation more exact. Define unfamiliar terms through context and use them consistently.
- 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.

Following Recipe Steps & Quantities
02 · LibraryRead the Recipe Scale-Up information first. Talk the idea through, then answer one small question at a time.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
I can read instructions, timetables and constraints accurately.
YOUR MISSION
Why must all ingredients use the same scale factor?
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
Functional texts often hide important details in headings, times, quantities and conditions. Read all constraints before deciding what to do.
- 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.

Writing a Step-by-Step Recipe
03 · Creative StudioYOUR WRITING JOB: Write a clear 6-step method for preparing a simple recipe. Use precise verbs, quantities and sequence words.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
I can write a procedure that another person could follow independently.
YOUR MISSION
Write a clear 6-step method for preparing a simple recipe. Use precise verbs, quantities and sequence words.
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
A clear procedure names the goal, materials or conditions, then gives ordered, specific steps. Test it by asking whether someone could follow it without extra help.
- STEP 1Write a heading that tells the reader the job.
- STEP 2Write six actions in the order they should happen.
- STEP 3Start steps with clear doing words.
- STEP 4Finish with the check or contact the task asks for.
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
SELF-CHECK · Check your work
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.

Doubling, Halving & Finding Fractions
04 · Maths LabWork through one maths question at a time. Your answers will be checked before the next mission unlocks.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
I can compare and connect fractions, decimals and percentages in familiar contexts.
YOUR MISSION
1) Scale factor from 8 servings to 20 2) 2 cups × 2.5
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
Fractions, decimals and percentages are different representations of the same quantity. Use benchmark values such as 0, 1/2 and 1 to compare.
- STEP 1Read the question and decide what you need to find.
- STEP 2Notice the important numbers and units.
- STEP 3Choose a strategy and work it out.
- STEP 4Type the answer, then check that it makes sense.
PRACTISE & SOLVE · One question at a time
Read → choose a strategy → work it out → check your answer. Correct answers stay correct if another question needs another go.

Scaling a Recipe
05 · Mission DeckThis is your real-world Recipe Scale-Up challenge. Work out what the problem asks you to find or make.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
I can combine information and calculations to make a workable plan.
YOUR MISSION
Explain how you would check whether the scaled quantities still keep the original recipe proportions.
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
Integrated problems often have several constraints. Identify the goal, list the limits, calculate what matters, then explain why the plan works.
- STEP 1Read the whole challenge once.
- STEP 2Find the numbers, facts or rules you need.
- STEP 3Choose a useful strategy.
- STEP 4Show your solution clearly enough that someone else could follow it.
CREATE · What do I need to solve?
Explain how you would check whether the scaled quantities still keep the original recipe proportions.
Choose a way to show your thinking. There can be more than one good strategy.
Ways to think away from the screen
PEN & PAPER — show your working there if it helps.
SAY IT OUT LOUD — explain what you need to find.
