Volume

Today we began to explore the world of geometry and more specifically volume. The kids did "quick images" of certain figures and were challenged to build what they saw after only a few seconds.
We discussed that with volume things are not always as they seem or are seen.
Students were then given the task to construct their own boxes to hold certain volumes of cubes. The question at hand is, is there a way you could find the number of cubes that would fit in any box without building it?
