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?
