Ever wondered what it would be like to be on a judging panel? Well now you can when you download this Y5 Volume challenge activity.

Join Leo, Kiera and Chaz as they compete to win a trophy at the local Design and Technology Competition. Using their knowledge and understanding of volume, children use their reasoning and problem-solving skills to help decide which of the three entries should be put forward for each category.

This resource is designed to be worked on in pairs or small groups in order to engage children in mathematical discussions. Thinking mathematically is the aim of the game in order to be successful in helping to decide which design is trophy-worthy!


Curriculum Objectives

  • Estimate volume [for example, using 1 cm3 blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [for example, using water]
  • Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure [for example, volume] using decimal notation, including scaling
