Mrs. Boggs asked her students to create a cylinder to hold
chocolate candies using a standard piece of paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches.)

Some of the students made cylinders that were 11 inches tall, and others created cylinders that were 8.5 inches tall.

The students began discussing the amount of chocolate candies
that each person could store. Oliver said that each cylinder
would hold the same amount of chocolate candies because they used the same size paper. Anna disagreed.
