By the end of this unit, learners will:
- make the link between counting cubes and the formula: (l x w x h) to calculate the volume of a cuboid;
- understand that the formula is the same as calculating the are of the base and multiplying this by the height.
Curriculum Alignment: Year 6 Measurements:
- 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].
