Idea - Mr. Jayson has a HW assignment posted on his blackboard regarding measuring. In 5th grade, you can read the story when learning measurement conversions. Assign students Mr. Jayson's HW from the story and add the criteria that students must then convert their measurements to the units of their choice.

-Give students a diameter or a radius and have them calculate the area of the circle birthday cake
-Then have students determine the area of each piece of the cake if it is divided evenly among each person that was in the room
For upper grade levels:
-Have the students determine that the cake is a cylinder and have them calculate both volume and surface area after giving them the needed dimensions or have the students work in partners and create dimensions for each other before solving.
