Central Elementary School

Wrapping up their unit on volume, Mrs. Schroeder’s students worked with small groups to design buildings for their town using rectangular prisms. They then had the task of finding the volume of each building along with the combined volume of their whole town! Finally, they shared their masterpieces with the whole class.
