Maths investigation with interactive cost calculation spreadsheet. To easily check their working.
Can be suitable for high ability Year 7s to Year 11s.
This involves; Area, metric unit conversion, money calculations, 3D shapes and nets.
A project to start a business as a " strawberry seller" in Wimbledon.
The students are required to find their profit of starting this business, by choosing what type of strawberries to buy and setting a price for sale taking demand into account. They need to also make a net for a 3D box for their strawberries and find the area.
This can be set as a single lesson with by just focussing on calculations or can be extended into a longer project.
When made into a homework project, I would suggest splitting the class into teams and ask each team to make a final "presentation" possibly with a prize for the winning team. In the past, I have bought strawberries and chocolate as a prize.
This includes;
a PowerPoint to introduce the project
a summary info sheet to make marking easier
a worksheet handout with information on the project
a spreadsheet with profit calculations for each type of strawberry and cost to check calculations quickly.
