Practise selecting the best estimation

calculation to check your answers.

LO: to estimate volume

In order to answers these types of calculation, we will have to

practise two key skills.

Key skill 1: to estimate

the volume of an object

using cubes

Key skill 2 - to estimate

the volume of an object,

using given information

You may use cubes to make

these cuboids. if you have

some at home.
