Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Volume is 3D and is measured in 3D units.
- Volume is measured in the cubes of common length measures.
Common misconception
Pupils may record different volumes for objects if they measure with inconsistent units (for example: different sized cubes).
Encourage pupils to compare the volume of the same object measured with two different units. Discuss what you notice and draw out the importance for a consistent unit of measure.
