Working out volume in Y5

Date: 17th Jun 2022 @ 6:21am

This week in Maths, Y5 have been learning about how to work out volume. We started by looking at what volume is and how we can work it out using cubic units. We began with a practical session in which we used cubes to build a variety of simple and complex shapes. We then counted the number of cubes that were used to make the shape in order to work out the volume. We then went on to explored the formula for volume and how we have to multiply three dimensions to get an answer. Surprisingly, Y5 did very well with this. Well done!
