MSS1/L1.10

MSS1/L1.10 Work out simple volume (e.g. cuboids)
(a) know that volume is a measure of space
(b) know what measurements are required to calculate volume, and how to obtain them
(c) know that measurements must be in the same units before calculating volume
(d) know that the volume of a cuboid = length x width x height (or depth)
(e) know that volume is measured in cubic units

Powerpoint presentation introducing area, perimeter and volume for L1-L2 Functional Skills (maths) learners. Covers rectangles, compound shapes and circles.

Functional Maths - measures, shape & space

Lovely introduction to perimeter, area and volume. The learner can move squares and 3D blocks around to see how area and volume relate to physical squares / cubes.

Please note you must have the ActivInspire interactive whiteboard software installed on your computer in order to open, view and use the flipchart resource.

Functional Maths - measures, shape & space

Graduated activity for E2-L2 mixed ability groups. Involves recognising and sketching and drawing nets; constructing a chosen 3D shape; and (for L1 -2 only) calculating volume and surface area. With detailed adult numeracy and Functional Maths mapping information.
The tutor will need some pre-prepared nets – suggested web links are included.
