The Ultimate Key Lime Pie

 

On a cold and snowy day in Boston about ten years ago, two chefs created a huge Key Lime pie to remind the frozen people of the Northeast how tasty and warm the Keys of Florida are. In this updated activity, students explore multiples, proportions, unit conversions, volume, estimation, and reasoning. They also extend their thinking by considering how the event might look if it were planned today. Consider starting this activity by showing this video and asking what they wonder about this huge pie and what they would like to figure out.
