The students are required to find their profit of starting this business, by choosing what type of strawberries to buy and setting a price for sale taking demand into account. They need to also make a net for a 3D box for their strawberries and find the area. This can be set as a single lesson with by just focussing on calculations or can be extended into a longer project. When made into a homework project, I would suggest splitting the class into teams and ask each team to make a final "presentation" possibly with a prize for the winning team. In the past, I have bought strawberries and chocolate as a prize. This includes; a PowerPoint to introduce the project a summary info sheet to make marking easier a worksheet handout with information on the project a spreadsheet with profit calculations for each type of strawberry and cost to check calculations quickly.
