Shape & Space Update

I've added a ZIP file into Semester 2 Updated Resources Book with all the updated files for Shape & Space, the second chapter in the Measurement Unit. 

This chapter went well but I feel like there is still some potential for more interesting problems (next year...).

One thing I had fun with was doing a demonstration with water and geo-solids to show the 1/3 relationship between the volume of prisms and pyramids.  I had the students guess first and then we saw if they were right or not.  

I hope this helps and any feedback is appreciated and any further ideas are welcome.  I'll have some final review assignments coming soon.
