In Maths, we are finding out about Volume.
Volume is the amount of space inside a shape.
Our first challenge was to make a building with 12 cubes.
Although the buildings were different shapes (some were tall and narrow, others were short and wide), we decided that they took up the same amount of room because they were each built with 12 cubes.
The second challenge was to create a container that would hold 30 beads, with just the right amount of space.
It took a few tries,
but everyone showed persistence and kept trying until they had a container just the right size.
We kept trying!
We saw that different shaped containers can have the same volume.
