Class 6 surface area and volume, as pictures to move

How much a solid holds, and how much it takes to wrap it. Here is what Class 6 practises in surface area and volume, and the games that do it.

Skills in Class 6 surface area and volume

  • Faces, edges and corners
  • Unfold a box to find its surface area
  • A painted cube, cut up
  • Same volume, different wrapping
  • Litres and cubic centimetres
  • Nets of a cube, and views of a stack
  • Volume of a cuboid, counted in layers

The games

Played as fill in the steps, predict, then slide, place the tiles, sort and match, find every one.

  • Count a cube, front and back
  • Open the box and add the faces
  • A painted cube cut into 27
  • Wrap 24 or 30 cubes in the least paper
  • Every box of 12, 16 or 18 cubes

Volume is how many unit cubes fill it

Fill a box layer by layer. One layer holds length times breadth cubes, and there are as many layers as the height. Volume is measured in cubic units, like cm³.

4 × 3 × 2 = 24 unit cubes
