National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 5: (5N6) Solve number problems and practical problems that involve all of the above
Mathematics Year 5: (5M8) Estimate volume [for example, using 1 cm3 blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [for example, using water]

Differentiation:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support estimating the volume of cubes, cuboids or objects, approximately double or half the size of a given volume.
Expected Questions to support estimating the volume of 3D compound shapes with a depth of 1cm and objects approximately quarter or half smaller or larger than the size of a given volume.
Greater Depth Questions to support estimating the volume of 3D compound shapes with a depth of up to 3cm depth and objects smaller or larger than the size of a given volume, using various fractions.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Estimate the volume of a larger object using a given object and its volume. (Using doubling and repeated addition)
Expected Estimate the volume of a larger object using a given object and volume. (Using multiples of 4 and repeated addition)
Greater Depth Estimate the volume of a larger object using a given object and its volume. (Using various multiples and repeated addition)

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain if the statement is correct when estimating the number of cubes needed to complete the sequence. (Sequence increasing by half each time)
Expected Explain if the statement is correct when estimating the number of cubes needed to complete the sequence. (Sequence increasing by multiples of 4 each time)
Greater Depth Explain if the statement is correct when estimating the number of cubes needed to complete the sequence. (Sequence includes more than one step e.g. doubling plus one).

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Using the volume of a cubes and cuboids, estimate and reason the volume of a smaller or larger shape. Shape approximately half smaller or larger than the size of a given volume.
Expected Using the volume of a 3D shape, estimate and reason the volume of a smaller or larger shape. Shape approximately half smaller or larger than the size of a given volume.
Greater Depth Using the volume of a 3D shape, estimate and reason the volume of a smaller shape. Shapes based on different orientations within larger shape and reason the approximate volume based on the larger shape.
