The above photo is of a bentwood box of a First Nations tribe, brought to the Museum of Anthropology. Teachers wanting to use an object such as this in the math classroom can use concepts such as Surface Area and Volume to do so.

Discovering the surface area or the volume of the boxes can be a great way to allow students to understand the size and weight the boxes could be, and also a great way to help them realize what First Nations tribes used them for.
