A
Fluency & Practice
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Estimate the cube root of 512 using perfect cubes.
[2 marks]2.
Determine whether the cube root of 1000 is closer to 9 or 10, and justify your answer.
[3 marks]3.
Estimate the cube root of 300 by comparing it to nearby perfect cubes.
[2 marks]B
Problem Solving & Reasoning
Solve the following multi-step problems, explaining your reasoning clearly.
1.
A designer is planning a cube-shaped room with a volume of approximately 1000 cubic meters. Estimate the length of each side of the room.
[4 marks]2.
A building's foundation has a volume of about 1728 cubic meters. Estimate the length of one side of the foundation assuming it is a cube.
[3 marks]C
Real-world Applications
Apply estimation skills to architectural design scenarios.
1.
An architect is designing a large cube sculpture with a volume close to 8000 cubic meters. Estimate the length of each side.
[3 marks]2.
A designer estimates the cube root of a building's volume to be approximately 15 meters. What is the approximate volume of the building?
[3 marks]D
Challenge & Extension
Tackle these more difficult problems to extend your estimation skills.
1.
A monument is designed as a cube with a volume between 12,000 and 13,000 cubic meters. Estimate the side length with reasoning.
[4 marks]2.
Estimate the cube root of 5000 and explain the process you used.
[4 marks]E
Mixed Review
Answer these questions to review various estimation methods.
1.
Estimate the cube root of 4096, knowing that 16^3=4096. How accurate is your estimate?
[2 marks]2.
A building's volume is approximately 64,000 cubic meters. Estimate each side length assuming a cube shape.
[3 marks]F
Error Analysis
Identify and correct the common mistake in estimating cube roots.
1.
A student estimated the cube root of 2000 as 12, citing that 12^3=1728. Is this estimate accurate? If not, provide the correct estimate and explain the mistake.
