In this practical task, students make different shapes with four multi-link cubes, draw them, identify the smallest perimeter, and explain what happens to the area.
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 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.
