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 we need to go length  x width x height. Our challenge was to work in pairs and create things using the unlink cubes all using volumes of eight. I found it easy to make the picture and organise the picture. I found it hard to have a volume of eight. 
Next time I need to work on having a volume of eight.

Alyssa, you found volume a very difficult concept to grasp. You worked hard to try and create shapes with a volume of 8 but some of your creations had a few too many or not enough. Keep working hard to understand height, width and length, this along with practicing your timetables will help you get there!
