When you are working on volume in your class, you can use this activity for students who might like to find some other interesting volumes -- like the torus.
This self-directed activity lets students develop some understanding of a torus volume formula and practice the ability to use algebra to make the formula work better for donuts. Students then try to get a grip of how much actual cake there is in a present day donut or try to measure how much donuts have changed.
For Adventurer members we have an editable docx and hints and solutions.
