Pizza Mathematics. Proportion. Rich Task. My ROTW.

Use recipes to help calculate the right amount of ingredients for either Deep Pan or Thin Crust Pizzas.

I would recommend this for all groups from year 6 to 11 depending on ability.


There is a Powerpoint file for each version and a PDF for each version too.

Easy Version. Is a simple version of making enough pizza for 18 slices, these can all be the same type deep pan and thin crust.

More Challenging Version. Is a more complicated version of making pizza for a group of friends/mythical people or your preferred dinner party guests made up of your (living or otherwise) heroes. Making the lists is very important to the students. These can all be the same type deep pan and thin crust. More challenge can be added by making a combination of both types of pizzas.

More Challenging Version also includes information I found for the calorie content and current price of the ingredients. This can be very challenging.


The file Calculations is a macro enabled excel file which will show you the price of each pizza, the calorie content and the quantity of ingredients.
