Introduction
This extraordinary and fun filled webquest is for Geometry Honor students. We will be finding the area of Pizzas. The shapes in which we are finding area are CIRCLES. Lets make this cheesy and saucy goodness turn into some mathematical fun.
Task
Oh boy am I ready to make these pizza pies to there finest!
Now this will be a one man or women project. Yes, a one person project!
You will be making 2 small, 2 medium, and 2 large pies, and each has 8 slices in each. We will need to find the area of those slices and of the pie all togther.
So gather up some scrap paper and start sketching some delicious looking Pizza Pies. Make sure you know your area formula for the area of CIRCLES.
FORMULAS
Circle = π x r^2
(b=Base h=Height)
You will need to make the pies to scale. So set a Key. For example: 1in = 4 in
Process
Step 1: You will need to gather up all your pencils and drawing tools. Also the paper, because you don’t want to forget that now!
Step 2: Make a Key, so you know the scale your doing for this web-quest. Keep it on paper, so you learn from your work and you don’t have the computer doing the measurements for you to make it easier.
Step 3: You will be making a small pizza - a large pizza, it must be in order. The small pizza will have a radius of 4 inches. The medium pizza will have a radius of 7 inches. The large pizza will have a radius of 10 inches.
Step 4: You will determine the area of the pizzas from small – large. Make sure you measurements are correct, meaning to scale.
Step 5: Then you will determine the area of the triangles on each pizza. Make sure the measurements are to scale and are exact.
Step 6: After you have finished all the delicious pizzas, and finding their areas. Explain what you’ve done for each one as if you were teaching this to someone who’s never been taught it before, or has never done this type of web-quest!
Step 7: Show off your pizza’s! I bet they are looking scrumptious and to their very finest!

Conclusion
Now I am hoping you have all learned something from this fun filled lesson about area! There is a whole bunch of wonderful things in this world to do with area. Area is something you may use throughout your whole entire life, and you'll be glad you choice this amazing web quest!

Hey, my name is Grace Maple. I am a student at FPCHS, home of the bulldogs. Today I have created this wonderful web quest, to show you the many uses of AREA. Area seemed like a pretty radical idea for a webquest, especially on pizza! I wanted to prove to you fellow classmates that area is a radical topic to do! This here topic is used so very much in the real world! In your world!
