Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In Castle Crafters you are finding volume, what is another way to describe volume? If I have missing pieces in a shape and the dimensions, how can I find out volume of the object? I have a base of 3 units and I want to make my wall larger, in what ways can I add to my shape and how does it change my amount of product I need to order? Where else would you encounter volume? Can there be gaps or overlapping when we determine volume?

After the Game

How would you explain what volume is from this game? How did you figure out how to rearrange the pieces for them to fit into the wall? How is the volume of this shapes different than the area or perimeter of the shape? What type of shape allows for us to utilize volume? Why are the units used in volume cubed?
