Reasons to Use Helper Sheets Excerpts from Food Buying Guide Condensed and portable TDA Supported Easy to use Average showing what yield not to exceed WHAT METHOD do we use to calculate amount of food needed with Helper Sheets? 6
METHOD 1 NUMBER OF SERVINGS NEEDED FACTOR (Helper Sheets) This will determine how many UNITS* to buy. * Units are defined as pounds, #10 cans, cases, eaches or cans. Let s PRACTICE w/ Corn, Canned Need 500-1/2c servings of: Corn, Whole Kernel, Heated, Canned Open Helper Sheets booklet and find Corn Which Corn do we use? How many #10 cans do I need to open? NUMBER OF SERVINGS NEEDED = 500-1/2c srvg FACTOR (Helper Sheets) = 19.8-1/2c / #10cn 7
Let s Continue to PRACTICE 500-1/2c srvg 19.8-1/2c / #10cn Let s use our calculators: Enter 500 (servings needed) into calculator Hit the (divide) key Enter 19.8 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 25.25 #10 cans Let s Continue to PRACTICE ANSWER: 25.25 #10 cans (Number of Purchase Units needed) d) How many cans would you open? 25 OR 26? LET S CHECK YOUR MATH!!! 8
CHECK YOUR MATH!!! If we open 25 #10cans Lt Let s use our calculators: lt Enter 25 (purchase units) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Enter 19.8 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 495-1/2cup servings Is this enough for what you planned for? (500-1/2c) CHECK YOUR MATH!!! What if we open 26 #10cans? Let s Lets use our calculators: Enter 26 (purchase units) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Enter 19.8 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 514.8-1/2cup servings = 514-1/2cup servings Remember to always round down when checking your work! You cannot make a whole out of a decimal (.8) Is this enough for what you planned for? (500-1/2c) 9
LET S PRACTICE Activity 1 Handout Let s PRACTICE w/ Grapes 50-1/4c srvg 10.5-1/4c / pound (lbs, # s) Let s use our calculators: Enter 50 (servings needed) into calculator Hit the (divide) key Enter 10.5 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 4.76 pounds (lbs, # s) 10
Let s Continue to PRACTICE ANSWER: 4.76 pounds (lbs, # s) (Number of Purchase Units needed) How many pounds would you prepare? 4 OR 5? LET S CHECK YOUR MATH!!! CHECK YOUR MATH!!! If we prepare 4 # s Lt Let s use our calculators: lt Enter 4 (purchase units) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Enter 10.5 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 42-1/4cup servings Is this enough for what you planned for? (50-1/4c) 11
CHECK YOUR MATH!!! If we prepare 5 # s Let s Lets use our calculators: Enter 5 (purchase units) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Enter 10.5 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 52.5-1/4cup servings = 52-1/4cup servings Remember to always round down when checking your work! You cannot make a whole out of a decimal (.5) Is this enough for what you planned for? (50-1/4c) LET S PRACTICE Activity 2 Handout 12
Let s PRACTICE w/ Pinto Beans, Canned Need 100-1/4c servings AND Need 100-1/2c servings of: Beans, Pinto, Canned Open Helper Sheets booklet and find Beans, Pinto Which Beans do we use? How many #10 cans do we need to open? WHERE DO WE START? Let s PRACTICE w/ Pinto Beans, Canned Need to get all measurements to a common serving size. FIRST Let s convert all (1/2cups) to 1/4cups. # of ½ cup servings X 2 = ¼ cup servings Now add original 1/4cups here: + Original ¼ cup servings Finally, Add the 2 numbers here: Total ¼ cup servings Let s do this on our Calculator 13
Let s PRACTICE w/ Pinto Beans, cnd Let s use our calculators: Enter 100-1/2c (servings needed) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Then enter 2, then hit the = (equals) key ANSWER: 200-1/4cups Now, hit the +(addition) key Enter 100-1/4cups (original servings) ANSWER: 300-1/4cups Let s PRACTICE w/ Pinto Beans, Canned WHAT YOUR MATH SHOULD LOOK LIKE: # of ½ cup servings 100 X 2 = 200 ¼ cup servings Now add original 1/4cups here: +100 Original ¼ cup servings Finally, Add the 2 numbers here: 300 Total ¼ cup servings 14
Now let s figure out how much we need: NUMBER OF SERVINGS NEEDED FACTOR (Helper Sheets) This will determine how many UNITS* to buy. * Units are defined as pounds, #10 cans, cases, eaches or cans. Let s PRACTICE w/ Pinto Beans, cnd Now let s figure out how much we need: 300-1/4c srvg 37.2-1/4c / #10 can Let s use our calculators: Enter 300 (servings needed) into calculator Hit the (divide) id key Enter 37.2 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 8.06 #10 cans 15
Let s Continue to PRACTICE ANSWER: 8.06 #10 cans (Number of Purchase Units needed) d) How many #10 cans would you prepare? 8 OR 9? LET S CHECK YOUR MATH!!! CHECK YOUR MATH!!! If we prepare 8 #10 cans Let s Lets use our calculators: Enter 8 (purchase units) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Enter 37.2 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 297.6-1/4cup servings = 297-1/4cup servings Remember to always round down when checking your work! You cannot make a whole out of a decimal (.6) Is this enough for what you planned for? (300-1/4c) 16

If we prepare 9 #10cans Let s Lets use our calculators: Enter 9 (purchase units) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Enter 37.2 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 334.8-1/4cup servings = 334-1/4cup servings Remember to always round down when checking your work! You cannot make a whole out of a decimal (.8) Is this enough for what you planned for? (350-1/4c) CHECK YOUR MATH!!! If we prepare 10 #10 cans Lt Let s use our calculators: lt Enter 10 (purchase units) into calculator Hit the (multiplication) key Enter 37.2 (factor from Helper Sheets) into calculator ANSWER: 372-1/4cup servings Remember to always round down when checking your work! Is this enough for what you planned for? (350-1/4c) 22
