During the week of April 10th, students in Mr. Zehnder’s geometry* class combined their creativity and math skills to make cereal boxes.

This was a part of their lesson as a way to learn about volume. They could make the cereal box in any shape they wanted.  Junior Ryan Anderson made a cylinder.

Students got creative by coloring and even putting games on their boxes. Junior Jenna Kroboth made a color by number on hers.

They were given 80 to 100 cubic inches of paper to create and design a cereal box.

At the end of the unit, they are going to put cereal in their boxes to see if they did their math right.

“It was pretty fun,” said junior Ryan Anderson
