This is a project I created for fifth graders as an extension to a volume unit. Students solve a real world problem of designing a wedding cake to apply what they have learned about volume and reinforce problem solving skills. Students will brainstorm, plan, sketch a draft, calculate volumes and costs, explain their work, draw their wedding cake designs, write a persuasive letter, and reflect on their learning.
