Let’s go to Colossal Cinemas, the best cinema around!

This teaching resource is a project that teaches students how to measure popcorn using imperial and customary units, including ounces, pounds and cups. Students will study different-sized popcorn poppers and use their mathematical knowledge to determine which will meet the demand for popcorn at a popular movie cinema.

In this project, students will learn and engage with:

  • Imperial units
  • algebra
  • statistical graphs
  • researching ideas and using prior knowledge
  • stimulus comprehension
  • number knowledge, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

    Hi. It would be great if an alternative could be provided in standard metric units. Cups, grams, kilograms etc.
