Illustrative Mathematics: 6.g Christo's Building

Curated by ACT

This problem looks at a scale model of a project by Christo and Jeanne Claude. Students are asked to calculate its volume, how many 1/2-inch blocks would be needed to build it, and how much cloth would be required to wrap it. They then calculate how much fabric would be needed for the actual life-size project. Aligns with 6.G.A.
