Students will love this real-world project that practices surface area and volume of prisms, cylinders, cones, and spheres by participating in a cake design challenge! I have successfully used this project with 7th grade, 8th grade, and 9th grade students.In this project, students will design a cake using 3D objects (prisms, cylinders, cones, and spheres). By ordering custom cake pans for their creation, students will calculate the surface area (for icing) and volume (for the cake batter) of the
