Quadratics Warm-Up: Activity 3
In this activity you will determine the relationship between the side-length of a
cube and its surface area.
You can use hexalink cubes for the first few examples of this activity, but you
will have to mentally calculate the surface area when the cubes become too big
for you to build.
Fill in the side-length and surface area in the table below and then plot the data
in the grid provided (as much data as can fit on the plot). The first one has been
done for you. This is basically a single cube. It has a side length of one (it’s
made of only 1 cube!) and it has 6 squares showing on all its faces (that’s why
the surface area is 6). A cube with a side length of 2 would be a 2 × 2 × 2 cube.
The surface area is the area of all the faces (count the number of squares on all
the faces!)
