Exploring Volumes and Surface Areas of Irregular Figures with Magna-Tiles
by Laura Jermolowitz
In this lesson, students will build irregular figures using Magna-Tiles. Students will collaborate, discuss, and debate with peers to find multiple ways to calculate the volume and surface areas of the figures they have built. Students will then collaborate with peers to draw 2D models of their 3D irregular figures.
