The Great Bake Off! – Ratio & Proportion Through Recipes (Year 6) Slug: essential-maths-ratio-proportion-recipe-scaling-year-6
A "Terrible Baker" disaster starter shows what happens when you don't scale proportionally. Groups then scale recipes through 4 progressive challenges: halving, tripling, non-simple multiples, and reverse proportion ("you have 300g flour — how many can you feed?").
