Abstract | This activity involves students investigating the mathematics of packaging and exploring various concepts in geometry, including area and the Pythagorean theorem. Mathematics comes out of the discussion of packaging cans into six-packs and focuses on the cost-effectiveness of the horizontal storage area used. Students learn how knowledge of mathematics allows exact answers that lead to generalizations and formulas. Includes activity sheets. (PVD) |
