Math Monster, Eh

The title as you can see is quite odd. In math class we did this assignment that had to relate to our humanities unit. We had to create a monster that wasn’t very tall but had to be able to stand up. The unit that we were learning about involved finding the surface area and the volume and things like that. We learned about the math and figured out how to figure out the surface area and volume of multiple shapes stacked on top of each other, an example is like a cylinder on top of a square, and then being told to figure out what the surface area and volume of those to shapes combined together is. We were then told by our teacher make a “monster”  out of everyday materials that we could find.

 

I built mine using random stuff that I just found wherever I could, I used a lot of duct tape, the arms and legs were toilet paper rolls, the torso was made out of a pop can, and the head was a ball of styrofoam. I told you it was a bunch of random crap. Some people went out and bought specific parts for it, I just found stuff around my house that would work.  We then ended up using it in our frankenstuffie unit. That is how I made a monster, eh.
