Students in a Square And Cubic Metre

How many can you get into a square metre?
One maths group managed to get 12 students into the square metre.  It was a bit of a cramp but a great way to start thinking about volume, the next step ahead.

After discussion, the group realised that they need to squat down in order to create a cubic metre. There was still room for more bodies, but the general consensus was that it was rather uncomfortable.  

This activity enabled the students to visualise the area of 1sq m and 1 cubic metre
