To make 1 yard of concrete, you'll typically need about 1.5 cubic yards of aggregate (gravel) and around 0.5 to 0.75 cubic yards of sand. If using standard shovels, which hold about 0.1 cubic feet, you would need approximately 54 to 81 shovels of aggregate and about 18 to 27 shovels of sand, depending on the exact proportions used in your mix. The specific amounts can vary based on the desired concrete strength and mix design.
If you wish to get cement it's better to buy it bagged. If you wish to make concrete using the ratio suggested there would be 64 sand to 80 of gravel.
Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.

Concrete block is made from Portland Cement, water, sand and aggregate. The aggregate may be in the form of flyash or cinder from burnt coal.

Aggregate is the gravel or stone in the concrete. It is what gives concrete it's strength. Think of the aggregate as the bricks of a wall and the concrete and sand as the mortar.

Common glass is made from sand, SiO2, Na2O and CaO. Concrete is a mixture of rocks (aggregate), sand, and water.

Both glass and concrete contain sand. Sand is melted to make glass. It is mixed with aggregate (gravel) portland cement and water to make concrete.

Concrete mix is made from (sharp)sand, cement, aggregate and water. The ratios depent on the usage
The number of shovels of sand needed to mix one bag of cement can vary based on the desired concrete mix ratio. A common ratio for a basic mix is 3 parts sand to 1 part cement, which would require approximately 3 shovels of sand for every shovel of cement. Therefore, for one bag of cement, you would typically use around 9 shovels of sand. However, adjustments may be necessary based on specific project requirements.
