Here is Bridgette working out the volume of a polyhedron.

MEASUREMENT
Each class member participated in an experiment that used a variety of mathematical concepts. This was an experiment out of Figure it Out Level 3/4 called 'Candle Trials'. Children got to...
-Use a timer to identify how many seconds it takes for a candle to go out once a jar is place over top of it.
-Fill jars with water and estimate and measure the capacity
-Work out the average time it took for candles to burn out
-Compare the time taken to the capacity of the container
-Make predictions about the time it would take to burn a candle in another container (i.e. 2000 mls)
Everybody enjoyed this hands on experiment.
