Maths Detectives

What a busy week we've had! Today we became detectives solving a variety of mathematical problems to find out who stole the valuable x-cubes fromTechniquest. We solved problems involving number patterns, time, volume, weight and height and then had to use the information to identify who the burglar was. 

Naiya and Lewis had to build a metre cube as quickly as possible.
Which shape has the biggest volume? 
Keeping a record of our answers.
Investigating the link between arm span and height. Would Jacob be able to press the button and open the door at the same time?

Back in class we used our results along with the profiles of the suspects to find out who the burglar was.
