Calculating volume
Volume is the amount of 3D space that an object occupies. Volume can be measured in cubes. Calculate the number of cubes in each shape to work out the volume.
Estimate volume
Look at these containers. Which do you think has the greatest volume? (Think about their real-life size by considering what is inside.) Put them in order from smallest to largest volume. Estimate the volume in cm3, then calculate the volume to see how accurate you were.
Horizontal and vertical lines
Horizontal lines are lines that go across. Vertical lines are lines that go up and down. How many horizontal lines does this shape have? How many vertical lines does it have? How many right angles does it have? Can you explain what a right angle is? Remember that the corner of a sheet of paper or book is a right angle.
Halving investigation
If you take any three-digit number ending in two zeros and keep halving it, you will eventually end up with a number that ends in 5. Do you think this is true? Test this out using this table to record your findings. Test every number possible.
Fractions of quantities
I have 16 bananas. I give ¾ of them away. How many have I given away? When working out fractions of amounts, divide the number by the fraction denominator (bottom number) then multiply it by the fraction numerator (top number). Can you use this method to work out the rest of these fractions?
