Success Criteria
Beginning
To construct nets of trays.
Developing
To be able to calculate and record the volume cuboids and then to use trial and improvement to find the maximum volume.
Mastering
To investigate how things change if you start with a different sizes square.

Resources

Beginning

B1


B2
Watch this video which outlines your task over the next few lessons.




B3
Here is a diagram that shows you again how to draw the net.



Developing

D1
As in the video the next step is the calculate the volume of the tray.
If you need some reminding of how the volume of cuboids are calculated please watch this video: Volume of Cuboids

D2
Record you results on a table in your books.





D3
What have you discovered?
What is the largest volume?
How do you know your answer is correct?

Mastering

M1
Now consider changing the size of the square you start with. Consider using a:
- 18cm x 18cm 
Square
- 16cm x 16cm Square

What have you discovered?
