Description
Cereal Packaging Designer Project provides a fun way for Middle School students to work on surface area and volume in a real-world way.
The project starts with a letter from a Packaging Manager giving students specific guidelines for the cereal box that they must create. Students will work together to create a box that meets the project requirements using their knowledge of surface area and volume.
The download includes a letter from the Packaging Manager outlining the project requirements, a planning page, grading checklist and teacher lesson plan.
I have used this project with my students for several years and they love it! I am excited to share this with you!

My students were extremely engaged and loved doing this! Thank you so much!
This was a great ending to our 5th grade math year
Thanks!
Great resource, thank you!
great for my design class
Love having a creative project for them
This will be a great project for my students and then we will extend it by making "commercials" and creating an ad campaign.
Love that idea!
love it! please make more. They relate back to everyday life. They are cross curricular. And my students have fun with math!
