They will work with estimation, unit conversion,
space constraints, and net diagrams. Part

capacity V = l x w x h. Production of a geometric
model Activity
Have students estimate
capacity of containers Develop the concept by
manipulating cubes. Work in groups to design and
produce a full scale model of a fish tank.
Assessment Test the containers for
accuracy of estimate A worksheet with a table and
written summaries of the findings Produce finished fish tank
that holds the desired volume Standard
