National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 6: (6M8a) Calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including cubic centimetres (cm3) and cubic metres (m3), and extending to other units [for example, mm3 and km3]

Mathematics Year 6: (6M7c) Recognise when it is possible to use formulae for the area of shapes

Differentiation:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support calculating the volume of cuboids using l x w x h or area of base x height. Same metric measures used within each question; multiples of 2, 3, 5 and 10 only.
Expected Questions to support calculating the volume of cuboids using l x w x h or area of base x height. Some conversion between metric measures needed (mm to cm or cm to m). Same metric measures used within each question; whole unit measurements.
Greater Depth Questions to support calculating the volume of cuboids using l x w x h or area of base x height. Some conversions between metric measures needed (mm to m or m to mm); some measurements with 1 decimal place used.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Find the pair of cuboids that could be used to make a compound rectilinear shape with a given volume. Same metric measures used within each question; multiples of 2, 3, 5 and 10 only.
Expected Find all the possible pairs of cuboids that could be used to make a compound rectilinear shape with a given volume. Some conversion between metric measures needed (mm to cm or cm to m). Same metric measures used within each question; whole unit measurements.
Greater Depth Find all the possible pairs of cuboids that could be used to make a compound rectilinear shape with a given volume. Some conversions between metric measures needed (mm to m or m to mm); some measurements with 1 decimal place used.
