Deakin Blogs about two strategies to calculate volume

This week we learned how to find the volume of a 3D shape.

To find the volume of a 3D shape you can multiply the height by the width by the length.

Or you can find the area of the base of the shape by multiplying the length by the width. Then you get that answer and multiply it by the height and thats how you get the volume of a 3D shape.

Yurika Blogs about Cubic Inches

This week, I made a 1 inch cube out of white, scrap paper. It was easier than I expected but fun as I thought. I enjoyed so much making the cube. What I did know was that it would be fun. But what I didn’t know was that 1 inch is bigger than 1 cm. I was very surprised when I knew that. 1 inch was bigger than I thought so it was way easier than I thought it would be. I also tried to make 1 mm cube, but it was really tiny so I’m not done yet and not sure if I can make it. I hope I can but sticking part is so hard. And it’s so small, it’s on my desk right now but the cleaner might have thrown it away, hopefully not. If it’s still there, I would like to continue trying to make 1 mm next week.
