What happens to a volume when you scale the dimensions of a rectangular prism? In this problem, a box of clay is increased in each dimension, with the intent to see if learners can generalize the result. The addition of physical models could help them visualize the problem and gain a deeper understanding of the solution. Solutions are consider using visualization and algebraically.
