[|Thinking out of the Box . . . Problem] Student explorations and mathematical generalizations of a classic pre-calculus and calculus problem "The box problem."
 * Second Look -  Volume of a Rectangular Prism **

[|What Else Can You Do with an Open Box?] Starting with the classic Open Box problem, we present extensions of this problem that can be used in high school mathematics classes. We also challenge high school teachers to use this process of problem analysis in their own practice as a way to enrich the content of their lessons and as a means of individualized professional development.

[|Sharing Teaching Ideas: Optimization: A Project in Mathematics and Communication] The mathematics in the problem addresses many of the NCTM's Standards, as well as reform-calculus initiatives. The opportunity for meaningful communication about the mathematics is a vital component that was met well in the context of the assignment.

[|Illuminations Lesson: Popcorn Anyone?] This lesson can be used for students to discover the __#|relationship__ between dimension and volume. Students create two rectangular prisms and two cylinders to determine which holds more popcorn. Students then justify their observation by analyzing the formulas and identifying the dimension(s) with the largest impact on the volume.

A4
