Description
Here's an opportunity to let your students incorporate real-life math, food, art, and volume into one activity!
Using the directions and examples I have provided, your students will design 3 different boxes for a new brand of food. They will create a regular size box, a mini box, and a large value size box, then calculate the volume of each.
This snack box design activity is UNIQUE among similar activities here on TpT, since it requires students to multiply by fractions and mixed numbers, in alignment with Common Core Standards.
It is also better than the rest, since I have provided 5 ideas for extensions/early finishers.
Finally, there are 2 different dot papers (like graph paper, but just with dots), to help your students draw neat and realistic boxes.
Your students will have fun and learn about calculating volume of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths!

Thank you so much
Thank you for this resource. It was very helpful when modifying curriculum.
My students loved this resource and it was a great way to review our last unit!
My students loved this resource. It was fun to have different boxes of cereal and food on hand, so they could also work with this resource as a hands-on activity. The extension activities that were included were nice to have for the different level of learners that I was working with.
The interactive lessons are engaging and user-friendly. They include animations, visual aids, and interactive exercises that help reinforce learning through practice. This approach caters to different learning styles and makes abstract concepts more tangible.
This was a wonderful resource! Thank you so much! My kids loved it!
Great Resource! Very good for students to refer back to.
This is such a great real-world activity for finding volume. My students loved using it.
Great volume resource to practice with fifth graders.

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS6.G.A.2
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas π = π πΈ π© and π = π£ π© to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSS7.G.B.6
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.
