Volume
Find the volume of cuboids and joined solids, then work with unit conversions, missing dimensions and water levels.
Your child learns to see a volume as layers of 1-cm cubes standing on a floor, so volume is base area times height. From there, your child works back to a missing length or edge, counts unit cubes from three views, changes litres and millilitres to cubic centimetres, and finds the water level when water is poured from one tank into another.

About this chapter
These Primary 6 volume questions cover the volume of cuboids and joined solids, finding a missing length, breadth, height or edge from a volume, converting between litres, millilitres and cubic centimetres, and the multi-step water level and pouring questions. Each page explains one kind of question with a worked example.
Practise by question type: volume of cuboids and composite solids, p6 volume mixed practice questions, pouring water between tanks questions, missing dimension of a cuboid questions, counting unit cubes from views, litres to cubic centimetres questions and water level in a tank questions.
