Are you looking for challenging problems to stretch children's understanding of volume? If so, this Year 5 Estimate Volume Discussion Problem is perfect! It includes two open-ended questions with a real-life context for children to explore possible solutions for. One includes packing boxes of raisins to be shipped to a supermarket and the other involves making a shape from cubes.

This resource is ideal for paired or group work, and a modelled answer sheet is provided with one answer given that can be used as a discussion prompt for pupils to then find alternative answers.
