I assign each block a number and using a black sharpie, write it right on to the block itself. Image Source: įor this lab, you can have several stations set up around the room with 1-3 blocks at each station. Once they have decided on how to orientate the block, they can record their measurements. Students should place the block in their hand and align their fingers with the three sides of the block. Mathematically, it doesn’t matter which side is designated as the width, height, or length since all three sides are multiplied, but this will help students measure all three sides properly. ![]() In the image below, Z = Length, Y= Width, and X = Height. Even though the right-hand rule is not used for volume, it helps to find the L, W, & H of each block. A problem that students often run into is that they end up measuring one of the sides two times, and not measuring all three of the sides. Prior to having the students record the measurements for the blocks, we go over the importance of how to orient the blocks before measuring.
