Tucked into your lunchbox or locker, from a bag or a box, snacks are a big part of our lives. A snack is a welcome treat after school or a much-needed pick-me-up during a late night of studying. And everyone has their favorite snacks, salty or sweet, crunchy or chewy — it’s a great treat to have on hand.

As you munch on your favorite snacks, it probably doesn’t enter your mind how much math goes into creating them! In addition to the lessons contained in the Ohio Math Works kit, there are activities here on the OMW web site for you to sharpen or show off your skills!

• Take a look at how the Keebler Company produces snacks by checking out Snack Production Animation.
  
  
• Set up your own company to bake cookies with several activities at Ingredients & Supplies: What, How Much & When.
  
  
• Enjoy the design and challenge of tessellations? You can find the Ohio Math Works Tessellation Gallery at Create a Snack.
  
  
• At Snacks in a Box, you can check out the creativity of fellow students, or send us your entry, for the Ohio Math Works Snack Package Hall of Fame.
  
  
• There are several opportunities at Snacks: What Do You Like? Choose from working with the Problem Solving Matrix, or see the results of the Ohio Schools Snack Survey and see how your favorite snack measures up with those chosen by students at schools around the state.
