WHAT IS THE VOLUME OF CONTAINER A?

mcglee1966 — 2013-06-03 11:58:09 UTC

ADD YOUR OWN VOLUME CREATIONS HERE WITH A VOLUME OF 72 CUBES.

mcglee1966 — 2013-06-03 11:59:06 UTC

WHICH CONTAINER HAS THE LARGEST VOLUME?

mcglee1966 — 2013-06-03 12:04:36 UTC

TASK 1: Order the containers from largest to smallest by typing their names as a list (e.g. A,B,D,C). Write your name to identify your opinion. Explain why you made your decision on which were the largest and smallest containers.

TASK 2: When given the actual measurements, write down your ordered list again. Then using Explain Everything, record your calculations to work out the volumes of each container. Take a screenshot and insert your calculations in the area below. What did you discover about the volumes of the containers? How can you explain your discovery? Record your thoughts under your calculations.

TASK 3: Using either Unifix blocks or the Think 3D Free App, create your own objects with a Volume of 72 cubes. Take photos (Unifix) or Screenshots (Think 3D) and open the photos in SKITCH app. Use SKITCH to draw in the dimensions of your objects. How many different objects can we make with a volume of 72 cubes?Which is the Longest? Widest? Tallest/Highest?

Victoria

2013-06-03 23:11:25 UTC

I think the order is B, D, C and A. This is because of their looks. A looks higher than the and its surface area looks large and B is smallest because it has a very flat area at the bottom

James

2013-06-03 23:11:30 UTC

I think B is the biggest because it is very wide.I think D is the smallest

Jiny

2013-06-03 23:11:30 UTC

I think C has the largest volume because it is long and also wide. CADB. I think that B is the smallest because it is very thin.

Adam

2013-06-03 23:11:31 UTC

I think A has the biggest volume because I visualise that it's bigger then them all and. Has biggest volume.

James P

2013-06-03 23:11:35 UTC

D,BC,A

I think D is the the biggest because it is long and it is thick. I think a is the smallest because it is thick but its very small.

Sarah

2013-06-03 23:11:43 UTC

C A d B, I think that C is the biggest because it is tall and large at the same time, and I think that B is the smallest because even though it is largest it is

Holly

2013-06-03 23:11:44 UTC

B C D A

I think B because it covers more space

I think A is the smallest because it takes up less floor space

Fintan

2013-06-03 23:11:48 UTC

D,C,B,A

I think d is the biggest because it is spread across a wide area and is rather tall

I think b is the second smallest because it is very flat but very long and wide

I think c is the second biggest because it is very tall and quite wide.

Francis

2013-06-03 23:11:53 UTC

I think the order is DBAC, and I think d is the biggest because its height width and length

Nathan

2013-06-03 23:12:02 UTC

A c b d I think that d is the smallest because it is small in hight and width I think the biggest is a because it has a big hight and has a quite a big wid th

Connor

B A C D

I think B is the biggest because it is really wide

I think A is the second biggest because it is very tall and wide

I think D is the smallest because its really small and not that wide

I think C is the second smallest because its to tall

Narain

2013-06-03 23:12:09 UTC

I think b is the biggest because it looks really long and a looks tall and wide.c is really tall. D is wide like b but not as long.

Jordan

abutcher — 2013-06-03 23:12:24 UTC

I think c is the biggest because it is long and tall but its not that wide. I think the smallest is d because it is not that tall or wide.

Phoebe and Fiona

2013-06-03 23:13:12 UTC

We think c is the biggest because it is really tall. B the smallest because it is really flat. A is the

Amy

2013-06-03 23:13:36 UTC

I think the order is C,A,D,B

I think C is the biggest because it is tallest

I think B is the smallest because its wide but shallow

Alysandra

2013-06-03 23:14:45 UTC

I think the order is B,C,D,A. I think B is the largest because it is the widest out of all of the shapes. I think A is the smallest because it is not as wide and tall as C

Mark

2013-06-03 23:16:13 UTC

I think A is the biggest because it has the biggest height and the width and length both multiply to a big number

Mark

2013-06-03 23:20:23 UTC

I think the order is A C B D

5x6 is 30 and 3x12 is 36 and you times 36 by 10 because I didn't times 12 with the 0 on 30.
