Math Happening- Fridays are always Pizza night!
Each Friday, we try to order a different pizza with our 5 favorite toppings. Some night we feel like having just plain good ole NY style Cheese pizza with no toppings. Our family favorite toppings are: Pepperoni, Spinach, Ham, Mushrooms, Tomatoes.
What questions do you have ? What do you wonder about?
Posing my math question: What are all the different pizzas we can order with 5 toppings? Would we have enough flavors to not repeat in one year ?
