Mathematical fairy tales suitable for grade three
Xiaoshi came to the kingdom of mathematics and wanted to calculate his own volume. Knowing the purpose of the small stone, the king introduced it to the minister of volume.

Minister Juan looked at the small stone up and down and saw that it was round, square and full of edges and corners. He pondered for a long time, discussed it with the small stone and said, "I think you'd better go to a stonemason first and make it into a cuboid or cube, or a cylinder or a cone, so that we can calculate your volume according to the volume calculation formula." Hearing this, Xiaoshi said shyly, "To tell you the truth, I just came from the mason. The master said that I am a rare metal ore, and I am full of treasures. Once I deal with it, it will inevitably cause losses. I came to ask the minister today, can you help me calculate the volume of my irregular shape? "

Minister Juan felt a little embarrassed about Xiaoshi's request, so he had to ask the prince of mathematics. After all, the prince of mathematics is young and clever. When he saw the small stone, he immediately remembered the story of Archimedes, an ancient Greek mathematician, testing the gold content of the crown with water, and put the head of the small stone into the cylinder room. I saw that the prince of mathematics first poured a proper amount of water into a cylindrical glass tube, measured the height of the water and marked it; Then put the small stone into this glass tube filled with water, and the height of the water will rise immediately. The prince of mathematics asked the minister of volume to calculate the volume of the rising water tank. Then tell the little stone, "The volume of this rising cylinder of water is the volume of your little stone."

Xiaoshi got a satisfactory answer and said goodbye to the prince of mathematics happily.
