Polynomial Functions Box Project
Share

Description

This is a project for a high school mathematics class where students are challenged to make a box from a piece of A4 paper with maximum volume. They'll be prompted to design an equation to represent the volume of the box, and create a graph to find size of corner cuts that will produce the biggest box. It's a really worthwhile activity for students to see a real-world application of what polynomial functions can be used for.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
