Maths in Action: Pizza Making

What happens when you take maths out of the classroom and into the kitchen? Pizza making, of course!

As part of their maths curriculum, our students recently put their learning to the test by making pizzas to sell at school. They worked with measurements and quantities, calculated ingredient requirements and explored the costs involved in producing their pizzas. They also looked at the business side of the project, using maths to consider selling prices, profit and loss.

The best part? The pizzas were a huge hit!

One of our students shared a little about the experience:

“Recently we made pizzas at school. We did it on Tuesday in week one. It was very fun to make, having to roll out the dough, put sauce and toppings on and cook them. We ended up selling them on the same day we made them. A lot of people bought them and it was a huge success!”
