Building buildings 0 Overview Using this Resource Connecting to the Curriculum Marking Student Responses Further Resources This task is about using rules to building models. Question 1Change answer Practical task a) Using 20 cubes, make as many different buildings as you can. Every storey on the building must be the same. Every storey must be 1 cube high, at least 2 cubes wide, and at least 2 cubes deep. Every storey must be a rectangle. In the space below write down how many cubes high each building you made is.

Question 1Change answer b) Using 36 cubes, make as many different buildings as you can. Every storey on the building must be the same. Every storey must be 1 cube high, at least 2 cubes wide, and at least 2 cubes deep. Every storey must be a rectangle.

Task administration: This task is completed with pencil and paper, and other equipment. Equipment: At least 36 multi-link cubes per student. Model for the students with multi-link cubes, the minimum size of a "storey". For this exercise it is 1 cube high, 2 cubes wide, and 2 cubes deep. Emphasise to students that this model is a minimum size, and that other "storeys" can be wider and deeper than this. Level: 3 Curriculum info: Maths, Geometry and Measurement, Shape Keywords: cubes, cuboids, factors, model construction Description of task: Students use a given number of multi-link cubes to build two buildings with different heights.
