Ancient Architecture Action!

In Year 5 this week we were set the challenge of becoming pyramid builders. In our teams our first challenge was some tricky calculations to calculate the following:
- How many sugar cubes were in each box?
- How many sugar cubes would each group receive, when the cubes are divided equally between the 12 groups?
- How many cubes were required to build each layer and pyramids of different sizes?
Each group could then decide on the dimensions of their 3 pyramids (for their Pyramids of Giza model).

We then put our architecture skills to the test and used our calculations to build the pyramids. This task required us to come together as a team and put our patience skills to the test!
