Wrapping and Filling at Fannys Fudge Shop

A Performance Task

Congratulations! You are a member of the sales and marketing team at

Fannys Fudge Shop. You and your team have been asked to evaluate the
current packaging because the company is wasting too much cardboard and
paper! You and your group will need to present to the CEO, Fanny, the most
environment-friendly way to package the fudge. You will need to address the
following questions in your presentation:
1. What is the volume of the current box? What steps did you take to
find the volume of the box?
2. What is the volume of one dozen fudge pieces? What steps did you
use to find the volume of the fudge?
3. Is the current box size the best use of space accommodating a dozen
blocks of fudge?
4. Could a box with different dimensions work better?
5. How much wrapping is required for the current box? What steps did
you take to find this amount?
6. Could a box with different dimensions use less wrapping?
Your presentation may be in any format you choose google slides, a video,
live presentation, posters, models, etc., as long as you answer the questions
above and support your groups idea! Look over the rubric for more details of
what is expected!
