Used for LANTITE preparation (Australia). MG = Measurement & Geometry strand. Two cube-shaped flowerpots are shown, and their lengths given. The larger pot is either double or triple the length of the smaller pot. Students must work out the volume of the larger pot given the smaller one. There are eight potential questions.

Mrs {name1} has a pot plant in her classroom. The pot is cube-shaped, with length {size1} cm. It took 1 bag of potting mix to fill it. She has another larger pot, which she wants to use as well. It is also a cube shape, with length {size2} cm.

This question is equivalent to working out how many times greater the volume of the larger pot is than the volume of the small pot.

\n

First, work out how many times longer the larger pot is.

\n

{size2} cm ÷ {size1} cm = {scalefactor}

\n

Then work out how many small pots would be needed to form a square with the same base area as the larger pot.

\n

{scalefactor} x {scalefactor} = {scalefactor*scalefactor} small pots are needed to form a square with the same base area as the larger pot.

\n

Next, decide how many layers of small pots would be required to reach the top of the larger pot.

\n

{scalefactor} layers would be required, as the larger pot is {scalefactor} times higher than the small pot.

\n

Finally, work out how many small pots would be needed to give the same volume as the larger pot.

\n

{scalefactor} layers x {scalefactor^2} small pots in each layer = {scalefactor^3} small pots

\n

Each small pot uses one bag of potting mix.

\n

So Mrs {name1} will need {scalefactor^3} bags of potting mix to fill the larger pot.
