Where is your favorite place to eat pizza? My Top 3 are Sortinos, Mama’s Pizza, and Papa Johns. Of course whenever we eat pizza as a family, we have to make up some math problems! Explore some “pizza math”!

Set up your math mini spark recording page: #34: Pizza Math
Omni has a great site with information on pizza math and an pizza size calculator. On the left side there are a few articles about pizza. Record the title of each article and 3 details from each one on your note taking sheet.
Now try out the calculator. You can use the measurements from one of the videos or create your own and see what the comparisons are. Record what you find.
OPTIONAL: Calculate the area, circumference, and price per square inch of the next pizza you order. Make a display of the math/calculations.
Share your math mini spark recording page with your teacher/EY coordinator.
