Step 1
Follow the lesson on the site
http://www.learnalberta.ca/Math/math6web/math6shell.swf
and complete the problems.
Step 2
Complete the two sections found on the page.
http://www.oswego.org/testprep/topic.cfm?TopicID=78
What is the volume of the shapes? Don’t forget the review.
Step 3
Have a look at these and alter the size of the sides - note, the first sites may not work. If not, try
the second site. [shodor.org]
Calculate the Volume LxWxH
http://illuminations.nctm.org/mathlets/cubes/
From http://illuminations.nctm.org/mathlets/
Try here and alter the size of the sides and see how this changes the volume
http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/sa_volume/index.html
Step 4
Construct online at
http://ejad.best.vwh.net/java/patterns/patterns_j.shtml
as many of the patterns below as you can.
Try other shapes on this page -
http://clarkjag.idx.com.au/PolyPages/index.htm?Polycubes.html
Step 5
Work out the volume of these shapes. Check you answer with your neighbours. Review as required.
You may need to work these out by construction the parts at the sites below [if possible] and
then adding the numbers together.
Step 6
Construct online at
http://ejad.best.vwh.net/java/patterns/patterns_j.shtml
or
http://www.arcytech.org/java/b10blocks/b10blocks.html
as many shapes as you can from 5 cubes.
Check and discuss with your neighbour your results.
Step 7
Finish off by trying this activity http://www.nzmaths.co.nz/BrightSparks/tonisTiara.asp?applet
And

Step 8
About Logo. You can try this site to see if you can make the shapes - Challenging!
http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/nav/frames_asid_178_g_3_t_1.html?open=activities
Try to make a rectangle. When you can, try a [see through] cube
shape.
