Area and Volume

Today we had popcorn, yummy yumy. What has that got to do with Area and Volume you ask will have a look at this set of slides. Which container do you think would hold hte most popcorn. Our class were divide, some thought they be the same as the paper was the same to start with. Others thought the skinny container where as other thought the wide container.

When we went to compare amounts each of the four groups all had a different way to measure the volume of popcorn.

I’ll try to get that video up soon.
