Learning Objectives
Grade C
To be able to use the formula for the area or volume of more complex shapes including prisms and cylinders.
What is the first thing you need to calculate when finding the volume of a prism?
Grade B
To be able to use a formula to calculate the surface area and volume of cones & spheres.
How can we ensure we don't make mistakes when using these formulae?
Resources
Background / Revision
Grade D
Demonstrate to students how to break shapes down into simpler shapes.
Using the examples on the slides.
Grade C
Demonstrate to students how to find volume of prisms.
Remind students how to find the area of a circle and then use this to find the
volume of a cylinder.
Grade B
Introduce student to finding the volume of a cone.
Move to surface area of the cone.
Now look at volume of sphere.
Investigation
Your task it to use what you have learnt over the last few lessons and in previous years to construct as many shapes as possible in the following three categories.
Perimeter = 12m
Area = 30cm2
Volume = 200mm3
