Geometry and Measurement resources

Students use diagrams of two boxes with given dimensions to calculate the volume of both boxes and the number of smaller boxes that could fit into one of the boxes.

Students calculate the areas of four composite shapes.

Students use a scale map to estimate the area of Antarctica and explain their method.

Students enlarge a shape on a grid and explore the relationship between scale factor and area.

Students choose the correct trigonometric ratio which would be used to calculate a missing length in two practical problems.

Students calculate the area of lawn, deck, house, patio, pool drive and garden of a section.

Students use the measurements of a swimming pool and surrounding area to calculate perimeter, area and quantity of tiles needed for the surrounds.

Students convert between millilitres, litres, pints and gallons, and kilometres and miles.

From two different street sign pictures and their enlargements, students are to identify the scale factor of each enlargement and either a missing length or the missing factor when enlarging the area.

Students calculate the area of a bush reserve in hectares.

Students calculate the surface area and volume of cuboids.

Students calculate area of colours and the perimeter of a flag.

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.

This task requires students to calculate the size of angles using their knowledge of angles and parallel lines: alternate angles, corresponding angles and co-interior angles. Understanding of adjacent angles on a straight line is also required.

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

This task is about finding the circumference of a circle using two different radius measurements.

Students calculate the distance travelled by the tips of the hands on a clock, and calculate the speed of one of the tips.

From diagrams of four original and enlarged drawings to be used for Christmas wrapping paper, students identify the scale factor used and find a missing length on either the enlarged picture or the original picture.

Students calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid box.

Students are required to use trigonometry to calculate the length of one side of a right-angled triangle in three problems based on a ski lift, a toy sail boat and a penguin on an iceberg.

Students compare the area of two different triangles.

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

Students identify the correct resultant vector of two component vectors, and also identify the correct diagram of a vector that is written in column form.

For this task students are required to record, in a table, the compass bearings of objects shown on a submarine radar screen. Distances from the submarine are also recorded.
