About the store
I have been a math teacher for over 12 years. I have taught 7 years at the high school level and 5 at the middle school level. Although I loved teaching high school, I wanted to pursue a career in Educational Administration. With that goal in mind I pursued and attained my current position as Mathematics Department Head at Hudson Memorial Middle School where I teach 7th and 8th graders.

Writing in Math Class - Geometry Packing Problem
In this activity students are asked to determine the best package size for the Sensational Snack Corporation's snacks. The company wants to be able to ship snacks in a pre-determined size box with as little wasted space as possible. Students will be asked to use their knowledge of three-dimensional shapes to find volume.
The difficulty level of this problem could be easily changed to include finding the price of packing peanuts and cost analysis for shipping a pre-determined amount of product.
