They then make a data table to understand how to use a spread sheet. Students learn to find the area of a pizza so they can compare prices. After building a spreadsheet with columns for diameter to radius, area of a circle, price per square inch, they evaluate the best buy in pizza deals. Coupon values can be entered as they are found to further underscore the value of spreadsheets. Course Goals Students will understand the concept of unit pricing.
