Engage your students in learning volume through creating their own 3D monsters!

Throughout human history, people have created monsters to both instruct and entertain others. From the classic and colorful ghosts of Pac-Man to the contemporary zombies of Minecraft, the variety of monsters found in popular culture is truly remarkable. For this project, students will design and construct their own monster and calculate the volume of its parts. Have fun!

This resource guides students through the process of designing and creating their own monsters to help students to develop a deep understanding of volume. After conducting research on monster design, students sketch their ideas on a practice design page. Next, students draw their monsters onto grid paper (3 different sizes are provided), construct their rectangular prisms, and make their calculations using the template provided. Afterwards, they glue their monsters onto construction paper along with the display labels showcasing their learning. Once complete, these projects look fantastic on hallway bulletin boards!

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.

Thanks so much,
