We're going back to circles and applying it further with cans. So - keep an unopened tin can of something nearby while you work on this - you may very well find it helpful for solving problems.
We're going to explore how to find the label size, how to decorate the whole thing, and how to figure out how much can fit inside each can.
But they're not really cans. There cylinders. Cylinders. But a tin can makes an excellent visual and can help you remember what you are working on with this material
