Lego monster

Our assignment was to build a monster that would play a key role in a movie that we were making for Humanities and to learn about geometry. To start I made a draft of my monster.  Then I thought what material could I use to make this monster. I was thinking  about Styrofoam but I didn’t end up going ahead with that idea because it didn’t stick in the places I wanted it to. I ended up building the monster out of Lego because it stuck together better. The monster included a head, torso, 2 arms, 2 legs, and some skis. When I was done building the math part came into play and it was time to figure out what the surface area and volume of the monster would be. Next we are going to make a movie with the monster and have a hero that will take the monster down. I learned how to calculate the surface area and volume of an object and who to use different materials to make things.
