Crafting Math Fun

This is an engaging hands-on activity for students in that they can design composite figures with shapes and then create their own figures! Students will then calculate the area and perimeter of each figure.

This fun and hands-on activity provides students with the opportunity to create three-dimensional shapes and then calculate the volume and surface area of their hand-made shapes! Students will create rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and cones. The shape cutouts are not included, but they can easily be obtained through on-line images. This activity includes clear step-by-step instructions for students to create the shapes, think of real-life examples that represent e
