Math April 8-12

Tin Can Math

Our end of year project will consist of creating a Volume Tin Man and/or Woman.  This will all be done in class and we will begin working on these in May.  Here are some sample tin men.
  The tin man for the garden. A recycled scarecrow?! 
Mrs. Lin has been collecting large cans for me and I'm sure we will have enough of those.  What I need is smaller cans like tomato paste, tuna, sardines, etc.  The students will figure the volume, measurement and capacity of their final work.
