Volume resources

Students convert millilitres to litres and vice versa when working out quantities of bottles and glasses of fizzy drink for a party.

This practical task requires students to use a 1 metre measure to estimate the dimensions of a room, and then calculate the volume of the room.

Students enlarge a shape made of cubes and explore the relationship between the scale factor and volume.

Students answer two multiple-choice questions about the number of smaller blocks that fit into larger cuboid containers.
