Double the Number of Cubes

Solve the following problems.

• 1 You have a box that is 2 by 3 by 4. How many cubes does it hold? How do you know?

• 2 The factory wants you to build a box that will hold twice as many cubes. What are the dimensions of a box that contains two times as many cubes as a box that is 2 by 3 by 4? Write the dimensions and explain how you found the answer.

NOTE

Students find the volume of a box (how many cubes fit inside) and create another box to hold twice as many cubes.
