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.
