Synopsis

Have you ever wondered how packages are designed and created? People who figure out the best way to package products have to know a lot about surface area and volume. With this engaging book, you'll learn about how the size and shape of a product helps determine its packaging size, and why companies have to be smart about how packages are displayed, advertised, and marketed for consumers. With vibrant photos, math charts and diagrams, grade-appropriate text, and informational text features to help navigate the text, students will learn practical, real-world applications of math skills as they learn surface area and volume, and build their STEM skills.
