In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard box to hold 3 "chocolate bars" represented by hundreds blocks. They then cut out and construct the box.
Students order litre and millilitre capacities from smallest to largest, compare given capacities and explain how they know whether one is larger/smaller or the same.
Students calculate the number of 2cm blocks fit into a given 3-dimensional block model, and answer questions about one face, and volume of the block model.
