Maths

Today we had confusing maths lesson. My two partners was Fusi and Mata. We worked on a maths problem called Carries Cubes.We had to work on these questions below.

Carrie has glued some cubes together to make a large solid cube with nine small cubes showing on a face.

She paints the large cube red.

How many of the original small cubes have:

1. three faces painted red=8 Cubes

2. two faces painted red=12 Cubes

3. one face painted red=6 Cubes

4. no faces painted red=1 Cubes

And this is us working on the question.

And this is the model we used to work out the problem.
