Minecraft Challenge 🎮

The pupils of 6.24 were given another extension task today involving volume, factors, multiplication AND Minecraft!

They were tasked with creating rectangular prisms with particular volumes. Lots of problem solving and some trial and error was involved in this activity.

Here is a video below of Zain creating pairs of rectangular prisms with the same volume but different dimensions:

Kyle has also completed this task and has created four rectangular prisms with different dimensions that all share a volume of 40 centimetres cubed:

In maths 6.24 are learning how to calculate the volume of shapes. As an optional extension task the pupils were tasked with creating cubes and cuboids on minecraft and then had to calculate the shapes volume.

Kyle was eager to challenge himself with this extension task and even created a screen recording of himself playing minecraft and calculating the volume of the different rectangular prisms he had built.
