Volume Challenge

For maths week we have been learning about measurement. Yesterday we talked about volume. We learnt that to work out the volume of a shape you use length x width x height. Our challenge was to work in pairs and use the unlink cubes to make as many different creations as we could, with a volume of 8. I found it easy to times the length and width and then height. I found it hard to decide the structure. Next time I to work on planing the structure.

I really enjoyed this blog entry Evan. It's great to see you using your maths and constructing structures to test your theories. I particularly enjoyed seeing your published work. The program you used that included the photo made it very easy to see what you were describing. Love Mummy.

Great work with your exhibit Evan! I can clearly see that you have understood the concept and have made a variety of creations with a volume of 8. You have also been able to explain how to calculate volume. Ka pai mahi!
