PrimaryYear 5 - 6MathematicsNumbersAlgebraMeasurementGeometrySocialMental HealthPhysical Health
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will investigate low fat and ‘lite’ foods and look at the nutritional components of the products in these categories.
Students will apply their understanding of percentages to extract and analyse information from the Nutrition Information Panel so that they may compare similar products and make informed decisions about what they are eating. They will be working more specifically with the ‘Ave Qty per Serving’ section of the NIP and practising converting from whole numbers to fractions, decimals and percentages.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand what classifies a food as 'low fat' or 'reduced fat'
- understand the difference between more than and times as many
- understand how to use collected information to draw conclusions and make informed choices
Success criteria
Students can:
- use given information about 'lite' foods to fact check and draw conclusions
- use calculated percentages to make comparisons of the nutritional components of different products
- analyse the information collected from the NIPs to make informed and healthy decisions about what they eat
