~Explore: Volume~
You will be provided centimeter cubes and a ½ pint milk carton.
Come up with a way to find the volume of the milk carton using only the materials that you have been provided.
Teacher notes: Give students ample (I suggest ) centimeter cubes so that they have more than enough. This will only give them an estimate as they can’t make fractional parts from the centimeter cubes.
