Linear Programming high challenge

Learning target: students can solve linear programming problems unassisted.



students get to pick from one of the three problems and make a poster about it.  I show a poster of previous student work of Joe's coffee shop, which is a problem all of them have already solved.:




(most of the students choose the juice problem)



One thing that could make this activity better is if these same students had to complete one problem of the high support, where there is no context.



Anticipate students defining their variables half haphazardly, which can lead to confusion latter, especially for the juice problem where students have to convert their unit to be in all quarts or all gallons.
