In Miss Wagor's & Mrs. Legg's class at Cairo-Durham Elementary School, students engaged with the concept of volume through a hands-on activity using unit cube blocks.
The class was challenged to construct as many rectangular prisms as possible, carefully recording each prism's dimensions. Through this activity, students were able to gain a deeper understanding of volume measurement and its real world applications!
