The  Pineapple Cuboid
Pretend that this Pineapple is a perfect cuboid as per the height, length and width.
Q3
In your maths book & then keynote, create the table below and solve for the pineapple fractions "cut-and-taken" and also the pineapple "remaining-on-the-plate." In this split, the pineapple is cut into "tenths" Demonstrate and solve the:
  • Proper Fractions
  • Decimal Fractions
  • Percentages
Q4
In your maths book & then keynote, create the table below and solve for the pineapple fractions "cut-and-taken" and also the pineapple "remaining-on-the-plate." In this split, the pineapple is cut into "fifths" Demonstrate and solve the:
  • Proper Fractions
  • Decimal Fractions
  • Percentages
Q5

​
Explain on your Keynote
Q6
What do you notice about the the common fraction 2/5 and 4/10?
​
Explain on your Keynote
Q7
Find as many similarities as possible to the examples in Question 5 & Question 6
Explain on your Keynote
Q8
Taking a photograph and updating your Keynote, complete the following:
  • Explain the value of a single unifix cube as a "common fraction"
  • Explain the value of a single unifix cube as a "decimal fraction"
  • Explain the value of a single unifix cube as a "percentage"
​
​
Finally, if you took away and ate this litte unifix, what would be remaining on the plate:
  • common fraction
  • decimal fraction
  • percentage
The  Prima Box
Q1
Q2
What would be the total volume [cm3] of this pineapple cuboid?
  • BUILD THIS USING UNIFIX
  • TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH
  • CREATE A KEYNOTE
If you cut 1/2 of the pineapple:
 
TAKEN AWAY AND EATEN
  • What would be the volume [cm3] of the fruit taken away?
  • What decimal fraction [0.?] of the fruit taken away?
  • What would be the percentage [%] of the fruit taken away?
 
REMAINING IN THE CONTAINER
  • What would be the volume [cm3] of the fruit remaining?
  • What decimal fraction [0.?] of the fruit remaining?
  • What would be the percentage [%] of the fruit remaining?
**Note: Present your answers in your Keynote Presentation**
Q1
Q2
What would be the total volume [cm3] of this Prima Box?
  • BUILD THIS USING UNIFIX
  • TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH
  • CREATE A KEYNOTE
If you drink 1/2 of the Prima Box:
 
TAKEN AWAY AND CONSUMED
  • What volume [cm3] of juice has been consumed?
  • What milliliters of juice has been consumed? 
  • What decimal fraction [0.?] of the juice has been consumed?
  • What percentage [%] of the juice has been consumed?
 
REMAINING IN THE CONTAINER
  • What volume [cm3] of the Prima Box is remaining?
  • What milliliters of juice is remaining in the Prima Box? 
  • What decimal fraction [0.?] of the juice is remaining?
  • What would be the percentage [%] of the juice remaining?
