Net for Hands-on Constructing 3-D Rectangular Prism
Students would use rulers to measure the dimensions of each face, calculate areas for the faces, and then... (more) find the total surface area of the prism. The final step would be to cut out the net and construct the 3-D prism. Extension: Calculate the volume of the prism.
