LIFE/work balance
We have started a #LIFEworkbalance campaign and we need your help to complete
our LIFE/work balance survey.
We hope to publish the results soon, so please give 15 minutes of your time to help us
get a true picture of school life.
Want to be a part of this campaign? Take the survey on our website and share it with
your colleagues!
Year 6 – Spring Block 5 – Perimeter, Area and Volume – Volume – Counting Cubes
About This Resource:
This PowerPoint has been designed to support your teaching of this small step. It includes a starter activity and an
example of each question from the Varied Fluency and Reasoning and Problem Solving resources also provided
in this pack. You can choose to work through all examples provided or a selection of them depending on the
needs of your class.
National Curriculum Objectives:
Mathematics Year 6: (6M8a) Calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard
units, including cubic centimetres (cm3) and cubic metres (m3), and extending to other units [for example, mm3
and km3]

Reasoning 1
Eli is building some shapes. He thinks that all of the shapes below
are in order of volume from greatest to smallest.
Is he correct? Explain your answer.
Eli is incorrect because Shape C has a greater volume than Shape
B; the correct order should be Shape A (19cm3), Shape C (18cm3),
Shape B (15cm3).
