| Teacher's Request: |
I am looking for math activities that show students real-world applications of appoximating things - the areas of unusually-shaped objects, for one - rather than calculating them exactly. Sometimes the kinds of shapes they learn to determine the areas of seem too abstracted from their real lives. |
