Activity 1: Sugar Cubes
Students
will access Volume and
Surface Area and follow procedures to build 3-dimensional figures and
to determine their volumes. The sugar cubes may also be used to fill
small boxes or other containers. Student groups will review their
written formula plan from Activity 1 and make any needed changes to reflect
their learning from the sugar cube activity. Whole class discussion should
further clarify procedures for finding volume of various containers.
