• Put all the buildings together to make a classroom “Volume
Village”
• Rather than collecting the buildings, have students turn in the
papers that are attached to the front and back (make sure
they use tape and not glue if you choose this option)
• Have students bring in their rectangular solid a week
before the webquest.
• If a student doesn’t have a solid, use a book.
• Homework – building design and/or surface areas and
volume calculations can be completed outside of class
• Students will work individually but will need a partner to
double check calculations
