Class 8 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 8 practises in surface area and volume, and the games that do it.

Skills in Class 8 surface area and volume

  • Surface area and volume of a box and a tin
  • Cones, spheres and hemispheres
  • Double the sides: what happens to area and volume
  • Volume of a prism: base times height
  • Same volume, different wrapping
  • A painted cube, cut up
  • Litres and cubic centimetres
  • Faces, edges and corners
  • Unfold a box to find its surface area
  • Surface area and volume of combined solids

The games

Played as fill in the steps, place the tiles, predict, then slide.

  • Inside and outside a box
  • Inside and outside a tin
  • Unroll the tin
  • Make the paint four times as much
  • Double every side: length, surface, volume
  • A cylinder stacked from discs
  • Make the cube hold eight times as much
  • Discs with no area given
  • Pour small cubes into a double-size cube
  • Triple every side
  • Find the slice, then stack it
  • A wide cylinder from its radius
  • Nine times the surface
  • Same cubes, many boxes: find the best
  • Trapezium slice, found by you
  • A painted cube cut into 125
  • Triple every side: how much water
  • Length of a triangular prism from its volume
  • Big tanks, many litres
  • Capacity of a large tank
  • Prisms up to a hexagon
  • Paper to cover a large box
  • Painted on top and sides, not the base
  • Length of a trapezium prism from its volume
  • A large box from its net alone
  • Pour a wide pot into small cups
  • Melt a block into small blocks: times as much
  • A wider, taller pot into small cups
  • Three times as wide: how many cups
  • Melt a sphere into small spheres: times as much

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
