Description
Creating an open-topped box of maximum volume is a very common problem seen in calculus. The goal is to optimize resources by enclosing the most volume possible given the constraint of the size of the construction material; here, students use paper. The dimensions given can be adjusted depending on the size of the paper chosen; hence, the dimensions are omitted from the figure on the student pages. This is the first part of a two-day lesson on modeling. Lesson 16 focuses more on students writing equations to model a situation
