As part of our rotation day themed ' Maths in the real world' Miss Staples was able to open her own sweet shop. On Thursday we had lots of workers help run Miss Staples sweet shop business.
Our aim was to buy some sweets and sell the sweets and make a profit for the year 6's to help with their fundraising efforts. Our first task was to find out the cost of each individual sweet brought as part of a multipack. We had to divide large numbers and then round the numbers to the nearest penny.
We then compiled the sweet packets and worked out the bag total. We discussed how much we would sell them for and the profit we would make by taking to total cost away from the selling cost.
We made around 70 bags of sweets and sold them after school.......they sold out! Making an excellent profit! Well done everyone!!!
