Activity 7:  Box Puzzles (GLEs:  22, 24, 25, 28)

 

CC: In table groups, ask each student to construct a "building" using empty rectangular boxes with lids (rectangular prisms). Before building, have students measure the length and width of each side of each box and label them clearly with a magic marker, then place their boxes together, creating a "building".  Ask students to draw an outline of their building from a side view, a front view, and a top view on graph paper. Have students draw a scale model of their creations using a scale of 1 ft. = 1 in.  Have students compute the area and perimeter of their structures from two perspectives - front, top.
