Challenge Level 
Long ago, I made a string of ten graded cubes.
Each edge of the smallest cube was one centimetre long. Each
edge of the largest cube was ten centimetres long.
I labelled each one with its volume in cubic
centimetres.
The challenge for you is to make a string of graded cubes. You
might do better working in a team, so encourage your friends to
help!
We would love to hear how you made your own cubes and to see
photos of them.
