create their own pizza using choices of toppings. They will be able
to "order" their creation from the Internet and see their creation. They
will use their order to calculate the area of various size pizzas, determine
the "better buy", and calculate the cost per topping. Students will also
have to use research skills to answer questions pertaining to the Pizza
