Students can then have a go at completing Sanjeev鈥檚 party menu, changing other recipes and thinking about different calculation strategies for more challenging numbers of guests or quantities of ingredients.
For homework they can then ask parents/carers for their favourite recipe, and scale it up to feed the whole class.
