Volume resources

Students calculate the surface area and volume of cuboids.

Students calculate the capacity, in millilitres, of three containers whose measurements are given in centimetres.

Students calculate the width, height, perimeter and area of a dressing table, and the volume of a drawer from given measurements.

Students answer multiple-choice questions about volume of fish tanks given their dimensions.

Students work out how many triangular prism shapes there are in larger cuboid, and answer questions about volume of both shapes.

This practical task requires students to construct open boxes from grid paper and calculate their volumes.

Task: Use displacement to measure volume. Assessment focus: displacement.

Task: Measure 100mL of water into three different pieces of equipment. Weigh the result and calculate the precision of using that piece of equipment. Assessment focus: measuring and evaluating the accuracy of equipment.

In this practical task, students use their understanding of the link between capacity and volume to make cardboard containers that hold 250ml and 500ml of water.

Students calculate the number of 3-dimensional shapes that fit into larger 3-dimensional shapes.

This task is about using rates in ml/minute to work out how much water has dripped from four taps.
