Oranges and Math

Our 2016-2017 fifth graders were challenged to select the best oranges for us to purchase.

If eating an orange every day is healthy, then where would we select to purchase our oranges?

This project involved tons of math, logic, problem solving and opinions.

We discovered that oranges are a delicious fruit.


Do you know how many oranges it took to make 2 cups of fresh orange juice? How would this information help us to know how many oranges are in 1 cup of juice? Did we get sticky fingers while squeezing the oranges into juice?
