Y5 Mathematics
This Year 5 Estimate Volume lesson covers the prior learning of compare volume before moving onto the main skill of estimating the volume of given objects.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
