      What are some creative ways of teaching/explaining this?

      Usually toward the end of this lesson, I’ll bust out my cereal, which I eat every day before school (Shredded Wheat. I keep it healthy) and measure the dimensions for the class. The students often find it fascinating knowing what their teachers eat. I tend to round to the nearest whole number, maybe throwing in a .5 or something, and we calculate the surface area and/or volume.
