"Domino Effect"
Could Domino's Pizza have a better pricing model?Through this unit, we will determine if Domino's Pizza is charging too much or too little for their pizzas
Investigate
Research Domino's Pizza website (and other pizza restaurant websites) to determine how much they charge for their pizzas
Record data on the sizes of the pizzas, the number of toppings, type of toppings and the different total costs
Determine a base price of a standard cheese pizza to compare prices
Begin to identify if it really is worth the price of the pizza with the various sizes and toppings
Use a table to help organize data in either Google Docs or Google Sheets. Its recommended you use Google Sheets because that program can evaluate the numbers and show data better.
Day 2 Agenda
Revisit Domino Effect
Discuss findings of investigation - some of the trends noticed with a number of toppings and cost
Domino Effect - Open and download the activity to your Doc Hub. Today we will be working on Activity One: Meaty Yum
Given the price of a 2-topping medium pizza and a 4-topping medium pizza, determine: cost per topping, cost of a medium plain cheese pizza
Write and graph an equation to describe to describe the price of a medium pizza; determine the price of a specific medium pizza
Explain why doubling the toppings will not double the price
Possibly use Excel or Google Sheets to enter and organize your data
Key will be to organize data, use column headings and to enter data in an organized way
