Math Project (Unit 4)

Posted: April 6, 2011

Math Assignment Creating and Marketing a container for an “energy drink”. The container must hold 250 ml. You need to create three different “styles” of container ( cylinder, rectangular prism, triangular prism). For each type of container you need to create two different sets of dimensions (To hold 40 ml a rectangular prism of. 2cm x2cm x 10cm or 1cm x 5cm x 8cm. Both would hold the 40ml of drink.) Each container must hold 250ml. Create a net for each shape that uses materials efficiently. Use a table to represent the dimensions of your various containers. (Due Thursday) Draw the net at full scale and make each container and decorate it for your drink. (Due Monday) Use the information in Unit 4 to help. The table on page 230-231 can be adapted for this project. 1ml = 1cm3
