A great end of year or special occasion activity is the Recipe in a Jar numeracy and design task. Students are provided with the recipe to make an oat bickie/cookie in a jar and need to identify the equipment required, cost the recipe, determine a sale price if used for a fundraiser and then design a label and instructional swing tag for the gift recipient or community customer to turn their bickie in a jar into the actual final, edible product.

There are two options for this task

• Option 1 - a Tech task, where students are allowed to use technology to cost the recipe based on prices from their local online supermarket and to design their label and swing tag.
• Option 2 - a No-Tech task where students use the included ingredient price catalogues to cost the recipe and the provided templates to design and create their instructional labels and swing tags
