6.RP.3b. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed (CCSI, 2016).
Goal: To present a budget to feed pizza to 12, 60, and 240 students to the school nutrition supervisor.
Your goal is a school-wide pizza party!
Role: Students assume the role of a pizza chef.
Audience: School nutrition supervisor.
Situation: Your challenge will consist of several tasks. You will create a recipe for one pizza to feed
four students. You will then scale your recipe to feed 12, 60, and 240 students.
Product: You will submit two tables. The first will list the ingredients, amounts needed, package size,
price, unit cost, and total pizza cost. Then, you will make a table that shows the number of students,
number of pizzas needed, how much of each ingredient is needed, the unit cost for each ingredient, total
cost for each ingredient, total cost to feed 12, 60, and 240 students.
Criteria: Example tables, an ingredient price sheet, and a project rubric (figure 1) will be provided. Your
tables will need to be created using spreadsheet software (i.e. Excel or Google sheets) and should be
attractive.

indicate low understanding, help them during TOYO or at lunch.
Give effective feedback S- During TOYO: Teacher and teachers assistant circulate to help
