Cupcake Creator Template
This activity is an extension of the Cupcake Creator activity, where students research possible popular cupcake flavour combinations while developing a new cupcake. In it, students colour a template cupcake and add some toppings before cutting them out and presenting them.
This worksheet is a part of a larger unit designed for Year 4 that helps students develop their statistical investigation skills by walking them through the necessary stages to plan, conduct and analyse a statistical investigation and then communicate their findings.
Learning goals
- We are learning to conduct investigations to collect data through surveys and to record, display and interpret the data to answer questions.
- We are learning to select and trial methods for data collection, including survey questions and recording sheets.

Differentiation
Extensions
Have students present their cupcake flavour to the class. This can either become another data activity where they vote on their favourite combination, or the head baker (you) can pick the one you think sounds most appetising.
