Look for two pictures of three-dimensional buildings in newspapers and magazines. The buildings should be rectangular prisms.
A. Paste the pictures on a large sheet of paper. Leave room to write information near the picture.
B. Label each building with their name and location.
C. Research the buildings, if the information is available. Find things that are interesting about the buildings or their location. Also find their length, width, and height to the nearest foot. If the information is not available, measure the buildings on the page in inches or centimeters, and make a good estimate of their width (such as 1/2 the height, rounded to the nearest whole number). Find their volumes.
D. Make a class presentation, choosing one of the buildings you found.
