Knead+dough?

Knead Dough? At the Usher's house we plan on building a wood fire pizza oven. First we need to determine the ideal pizza size to know how big to make the oven door. Use your understanding of pizza, and the following math terms to determine the ideal pizza size. Draw a labeled diagram that uses the words in bold: **Radius** (e.g what is the length of one cut from the edge to the centre of your ideal pizza?)

**Diameter** (what is the diameter of your ideal pizza?)

**Circumference** (w hat is the circumference of your ideal pizza?)

Of your pizza size, how many sensibly sized **sectors** would I get? (e.g. will they fit on a plate? Are they easy to hold or will they droop at the **centre** and the toppings fall off?)

If I wanted half / half pizza toppings, would a **semicircle** of your pizza size suit that? Why, why not?

If I were to cut your pizza into **quadrants** how many pieces would I get?

Given your ideal pizza size, what would be the smallest sized square tray that I could use?

//**__ Therefore, how big should the oven door be? __**// // Some things to keep in mind... // My brother works at a pizza store, he says that the smaller the oven the better so it's best not to have an oven that is too big. We only like to make circular pizzas. We usually only make pizzas from scratch when entertaining a small group of friends.

// Challenges! // Pizza shops often give their diameter measurement in inches. What is the diameter of your pizza in inches? Take your square tray measurement from above. What if I wanted to make mini pizzas for entrees? I want to fit __at least__ four on the tray. What size could the mini pizzas be? Can you prove that the centre of your perfectly circular pizza is the centre?
