Name
Does a Stuffed Crust Pizza Really Have Three Feet of Cheese?
Description
A trip to pick up pizza with my daughter led to a question that inspired this activity. Using the tools of Amplify Classroom (formerly Desmos Classroom) and their lesson design principles changed teaching circumference of a circle from memorizing formulas to an interactive problem solving lesson. Students will derive the formulas for circumference and use it to answer the question, "Does the stuffed crust pizza really have three feet of cheese?" Please bring a laptop, Chromebook, or a tablet to the session. You will leave with links to this activity as well as links to many other free activities you can use in your classroom.
