This Term we have been learning about volume and the 3 Dimensions which are The Length,Width and Height.
I was with Luciano and Faiupu and we were working out the volume of our Rectangular Prism and we came up with an easy way of working out the volume. We used the 3 Dimensions and Timed with 8x4=32x2=64 and that was our quickest way to finding the answer.
Then we got to something more difficult. Mrs. Moore got some boxes and we had to measure the length width and height. We got the biggest box so we needed a 1 meter ruler to measure. Beana told us that it's better to measure longest side for the length because it make's things easy. We had to times the Dimensions to get the answer. This box was really difficult to measure but we got our answer. We timed it with 10x60=600x29 This was really hard but we estimated it but we were close to the answer but finally we got it the answer was 18,000. We were surprised how much 1 cm cubes could fit in it.
At the start we had a look at the boxes and labeled it with A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H. We had to estimate the smallest to biggest. I did D,B,C,A,G,H,F,E. Everyone was confused with H,F and D,B. They were tricky to guess.
We all worked on a box to figure out the volume and we got the results. If you compare the results to my estimation I got it right!!
Maths was really fun and it helped to figure out the volume of any kind of box.
