Note: The box is a cube and each edge is 1 metre. Remember, if you haven't got a loaf of bread, use the measurements 10cm x 10cm base and 25cm height.
Start by making a drawing of one layer of loaves of bread to find how many loaves can be arranged to fit an area of 1 square metre.
Use this information and the heights to calculate the number of layers.
