Calculating Voulme

Math Cityscape Calculating Volume

Maths Cityscapes

The maths class have been studying volume and capacity. We made cityscapes using different materials, blocks, lego, boxes or paper. Various structures were made and the volumes of the structures calculated using the correct formula. Some structures proved more difficult to calculate such as cylinder shapes or triangular shapes. The math dictionary for kids online was used to calculate the cylinder shape. It was a fun way of using measurement skills and learning how to calculate volume of a solid shape.
