1. Examining the two cubes in your kit: Table 1
Dice
Dimensions Surface Area
(cubes) (Length, width, # of sides x
and height) length x width
Volume
Length x width
x height
Ratio
(surface area/
volume)
Example:
Cube = 3 mm
length = 3 mm
width = 3 mm
height = 3 mm
6 sides x 3 x 3 =
54 mm?
3x3x3 =
27 mm
54/27 (Divide
the surface area
by the volume.
The ratio is that
number over 1.)
2/1 ratio
