Lunar New Year + Math = One Giant Learning Experience!
Students in Marissa Siracusano, Jamie Temple, and Heather Breen’s classes teamed up to construct three massive "Lunar Wood Snakes" 🐍 using boxes of all different sizes. But here’s the twist—they weren’t just building a cool display; they were calculating volume!
Each student wrapped their box in Lunar New Year colors and determined its volume before adding it to the growing snake in the cafeteria. The final step? Finding the total volume of the entire snake!
