Big fish, little fish, cardboard box... putting the volume of a cuboid into a real-word context isn't easy, but this Year 6 Volume of a Cuboid resource manages just that, with cuboids a-plenty. The worksheet has been differentiated 3 ways, and includes a mix of reasoning questions and problem-solving questions to ensure that children understand that finding the volume of a cuboid is actually quite a useful skill to have. They might not know it yet, but wait 'til they're moving house, and packing boxes, and then they'll thank you for teaching them such a great life skill.
