INTRODUCING

VOLUME

• Working in groups of 4, the children work
with their 6 bricks.
• The teacher can build a few shapes using 3 -
6 bricks.

Q: How many bricks are used to build each
shape?

• The children can then work in their groups
taking turns to build a shape using 6 - 24
bricks. Once built, the rest of the group must
try to work out how many bricks have been
used to build the shape.

VIEWS FROM

DIFFERENT

DIRECTIONS AND

ANGLES

• Working individually or in groups of 4, the
children work with their 6 bricks.
• The teacher builds a model using 4 bricks.
• This model is placed at eye level for viewing by
the children.
• Children must view the model from 4 different
sides (front, back, side left and side right).
• The children can then build the model from each
view that they see.
