Description
Many problems in mathematics classes are exactly defined and require very specific solutions. This lesson is intended to be an open-ended problem with multiple solutions and multiple entry points. Students use volume formulas and have some decisions to make about how to use them. After making an initial estimate, students will use modeling with more concrete parameters to help them refine their choices.
