I mean how cool is this big TOBLERONE BOX for triangular prisms!
We spent the first of the three lab days reviewing three dimensional shape basics. I used a set of nets for this from a module on Engage NY. I thought they were better than the digital nets I can get from our math series.
Then we spent two days working on the lab. I differentiated the assignment by having students take exact measurements, measure to the nearest half, quarter and full inch. This allowed everyone practice with the calculator and ruler. More importantly, everyone felt successful and had fun!
I made a fairly generic worksheet for my students to use when completing this lab. If you are interested in doing something similar, the lab sheet is FREE in my TpT store. You can click{HERE} to pick it up. I hope it helps. I'd love feedback if it works for you.
Yes, we have to teach surface area and I am totally stealing your idea! Thanks for sharing:).
