Figure This!

What items come packaged in cylindrical containers?

What types of goods are packaged in boxes instead of cylinders? Why do you think companies use boxes?

If a number is greater than 1, squaring it makes the result greater.

 

Go to the grocery store and see what items come in differently-shaped or differently-sized cylinders.

Look in your cupboard or go to the grocery. Find two different shaped containers that hold the same amount. What are the contents of each?
