Exploring Volumes with Fractional Edge Lengths Using Magna-Tiles
by Laura Jermolowitz
In the lesson, students will be able to build and explore how fractional edge lengths impact the overall volume of a figure. Students will gain a tangible understanding of how fractional edges impact volume and will be able to visualize this concept by drawing 2D drawings of their 3D models.
