    Volume of non-prisms

    Lesson presentations and activities

    • Volume and surface area of cones, spheres and frustum.

      Using real Askey ice-cream cones (2 types) as a 'prop' students answer 4 A/A* questions.

      I also gave out Cornettos (other ice cream products are available!) for winning teams.

      They were given text books and internet access only to research. They could also ask me 3 questions but they have to be in writing - there's space for them on the assessment sheet.

      It will stretch the more able. Thank you.

    • No questions… Just answers. Print on A3 and let students work out what they can. In the past students have found the volume of the shapes, surface area the shapes, how much wire would be needed to make the shapes and much more… PowerPoint version can be edited.

      A great activity to push students to talk about shapes. A simple but effective resource. Thanks for sharing.

    • Algebraic Volume problems that pupils seem to drop marks on.
      Various questions to engage pupils and have them able to access A/A* algebraic problems.
      Full lesson to follow

      part B in the yellow section is wrong as the result for H is negative, a hemisphere of the same radius to cylinder base is always smaller surface area.

      Can I have a bundle of all your premium resources. Thanks. j.molden@ntlworld.com

    Practice questions, homeworks and assessments

    • There are eight matchings here: 4 surface area and 4 volume. They get increasingly difficult moving through cubes/cuboids to prisms to cones, cylinders, pyramids and spheres. These are designed to be used as starters or plenaries but you can use them for a lesson main activity, totally up to you.

    • This help William 'Billy' Black calculate how much grease-proof paper he needs plus how much each cake tine can hold. The shapes go from cuboids to a cylinder to a hemisphere to a frustum, so you can start and finish where you like.

    • Ideal for GCSE revision, this is one of a collection of worksheets which contain exam-type questions that gradually increase in difficulty.

      These review sheets are great to use in class or as a homework. They are also excellent for one-to-one tuition and for interventions.

      This worksheet is great for students to revise calculating Surface Areas and Volumes for Spheres, Cones and Cylinders.

    • This is a very challenging task that tests students knowledge of higher tier volume formula

      This is a very demanding activity that asks students to solve problems involving 3D shapes.

      Task 1 asks students to find the percentage of the container that is filled with water.
      Task 2 requires students to visualise the shapes and will test their problem solving faculties, along with their understanding of the volume formulae required.
      Task 3 inverts the processes in task 2 and 3 and therefore is little more demanding.
      Task 4 is an open ended activity. You can add as much or as little structure to this activity as you like, but some guidelines often allow for a more thorough response from students. Eg. the shape must NOT have constant cross-section.

      Some answers provided.

      Enjoy!
