Surface Area - Deconstructing a Cereal Box
by Julia Wright
In this lesson, students will calculate the surface area of rectangular prism, first constructed and then deconstructed and make observations about any potential differences. Making these connections will provide a real-world framework to their understanding of mathematics. This lesson incorporates the use of a camera and was designed for an online classroom, but includes adaptations for use in-class.
