Agenda
- Number talk: Would You Rather — a litre of juice as a tall thin prism or a short wide one — and what does “better” mean?
- Random groups — The Box Problem at the boards: one square sheet, four cuts, and the biggest box in the room
- Consolidate: Optimization — constraint, model, derivative, verdict
- Launch: The Packaging Brief — a real package, honestly costed; the thread that ends at The Math Symposium starts here
Things to do before our next class
- Read The Packaging Brief; bring a real package from home — the more suspiciously shaped, the better.
