7 Feburary, S3 - 10/M1*

Title: Area and Volume of Compound Shapes (including Prisms and Spheres)
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 
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.
