Good morning, Year 5!
Workbook: 5B
Chapter: 13 Volume
Lesson: 1 and 2 Finding the Volume of Solids
Volume is the amount of space a 3D shape takes up.
You can work out the volume of a shape by multiplying height × width × depth. If the shape is made of cubic cm blocks, you can count the cubes to find the shape’s volume.
The following images will explain how to find the volume.
Please click the images to enlarge:
Note: the result is in m3 (cubic metres) because we have multiplied metres together three times.
Watch this video on how to find the volume.
If you need support: It may help you to draw or make the shapes before you try it out!
Challenge:
Try these great problems to do with volume.

Marking your answers
As you and your parents now have access to Maths No Problem, I will continue to set daily worksheets for you to complete at home. They may be worksheets that you may have already attempted in class but that’s okay! It’s important that you revise and practise your skills. More information about how to log in to Maths No Problem can be found here.
You do not need to print these worksheets out – you can simply using your yellow books to show your working out and write your answers. You or your parents can then mark it as you now have access to the answers
Therefore you will not be required to write your answer in the blog comments section as before. Please do comment if you need help or have any questions about the task. Also, please read each other’s comments and help each other out if you can! It is important we stay in touch and talk to each other about maths using mathematical language just like we did in the classroom 🙂
As today is not my usual working day, Miss Coleman & Miss Carruthers will kindly respond to the blogs for today.
Good luck!
Mrs Avdiu & Ms Robertson

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to say I finished today’s maths assignment and I really enjoyed it!
With this worksheet it was easy to count the cubes as they had small volume. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

I have finished the maths homework ? a couple of minutes ago.
I did find volume a bit tricky so if anyone knows any website where I can print out worksheets that would be great.
Have a lovely day ?

Hi Nika
I’m not sure if Mrs Avdiu has already given you this worksheet, but if you scroll through there are some volume questions at the end: https://cdn.oxfordowl.co.uk/2020/03/13/09/01/10/21e00ebf-7d24-48f4-b278-64de81f14bd3/BondSATsSkills_Maths9-10_Unit7.pdf

Well done for showing resilience and not giving up. Did you work out any tricks or tips that you could share to help others?
Hi Miss Carruthers. What I just done was count the cubes and it didn’t really matter what type of shape it was in.?
Thank you Mrs Carruthers!
I found the sheets very helpful. I will keep practicing this so I will get better.
