Estimate Volume Mixed Activity

Worksheet

Estimating Volume really isn't that easy. The numbers on the TV go up when you press the button on the clicker but what do they really mean? And why do most of us settle on even numbers, making odd numbers feel, well... even more odd? Anyway, you'll find none of those answers here because we're talking cm cubed rather than decibels. It's a Year 5 Estimate Volume resource, made up of three varied fluency questions and three reasoning and problem-solving questions. An answer sheet has also been provided.
