DIRECTIONS- Materials Needed: Paper, Pencil, Extra Money (your

choice)- Each group is required to turn in one set of answers;

please show you work. You must work together as a group in order to receive full credit. Everyone will be grading their group member’s participation.

- Throughout the trail, you need to ask to speak with a certain employee at each stop. These employees will assist you with your ‘orders’. You are not required to pay, unless you order more than what is listed. Each question has the required information for you complete the problems. You need to follow the directions for each stop and complete any chart or diagram given.

DIRECTIONS- STOP ONE: Trattoria Pizzaria- STOP TWO: Captain Charlie’s

Seafood Restaurant- STOP THREE: Yana’s Restaurant- STOP FOUR: Harbor House Fine

Gifts- STOP FIVE: Church Street Coffee

Company

Trattoria Pizzaria

1.) Speak to Tony and order a large pizza, half supreme (peppers, onions, mushrooms, & olives) and half sausage, pepperoni, and peppers.

a.) If a large pizza is cut into 8 slices, what fraction of the pizza will have:-Sausage?-Onions?-Pepper?

b.) What is the probability of choosing a slice with:-Olives?

*Draw a pizza, divide, and label to help find your answer*

Captain Charlie’s

2.) Captain Charlie’s is famous for their Clam Chowder. If they cook 3 gallons of clam chowder each night, how many customers can they serve at 1 cup per person? Ask for Linda. She’ll show you their 3 gallon pot as well as their serving cups. Make an estimate, then solve. How close were you?

(*HINT- Solve for 1 Gallon first using the chart*) 1 Gallon

4 Quarts1 Gallon 1 Quarts

__ Pints __ Cups 1 Pints

Yana’s Restaurant3.) Ask for Shawn and order 3 versions of Yana’s Breakfast Platter: 2 eggs, choice of sausage, bacon, or ham. And and a choice of hash browns or grits.

(*HINT- order so that you have at least one of each food choice, then use your food as manipultives to get you started*)

a.) How many combinations can you make with this breakfast platter?

b.) What is the probability that sausage will be included on the platter?

Harbor House Fine Gifts

4.) Go in and order a cup of hot chocolate (ask for Evelyn). If one cup of hot chocolate has 4 marshmallows, how many would 8 cups cups have all together?

Church Street Coffee Co.5.) Ask for Charles, and each of you may order an ice cream cone with a single scoop of ice cream of your choice. a.) What two shapes make up these treats? b.) Are they two dimensional or three dimensional? Why do you think so? c.) Compare and contrast the two different shapes, using the characteristics we’ve learned in class.

Draw a Venn Diagram to help represent your data.

5.) a.) cone, sphere b.) 3 Dimensional, *answers vary (shape has length, depth, and height)

c.)*answers vary but should include:

Spheres have 0 edges, faces, vertices, and sides.

Cones have 1 faces, vertices, sides, and 0 edges.

You could also mention what each shape makes when you

cut it down the middle.
