Kid's eye view...

This morning I spent time in a couple of middle school classrooms, watching math classes. One class was making patterns for rectangular prisms (nets), then folding and taping them up to be 3D. One girl made a 1 x 1 x 3 prism, while a boy made a 2 x 2 x 5 prism. He looked at the two of them, and called his a "Cartman box"!
