We are learning to calculate the perimeter, area and volume of shapes:
Our task:
Make two different shapes, using the unifix cubes, that have a volume of:
64 cm cubed
(Insert photos of your two different shapes)
What is the perimeter of each shape? 16cm
What is the area of the bottom level of each shape? 16cm squared
What formula can we use to work out:
Perimeter: Length + length + width + width
Area: Length x width
Volume: Length x width x height
