This Year 5 Estimate Volume with Cuboids Reasoning and Problem Solving resource will challenge your class to solve problems when estimating the volume of cuboids.

There are two reasoning questions which require children to read a statement carefully and then decide whether it is correct according to what they know. They then explain their thinking using mathematical language.

The third question is a problem solving question. As it has a variety of possible solutions, children will develop their ability to think flexibly in order to arrive at an answer.

Each question has two similar parts to promote confidence and an answer page is provided for teachers and pupils who are marking their own work.

A varied fluency resource is also available for this small step.
