This full lesson on Volume of Cylinders and Cuboids is designed to make volume calculation engaging, accessible and fun. Featuring a construction and problem-solving theme, students learn how to work out volume using clear model examples before applying their skills in two high-engagement challenges: an Escape-the-Room code activity and an interactive drag-and-drop worksheet.
The PowerPoint introduces volume step-by-step, covers common misconceptions, demonstrates how to calculate cylinder volume using π = 3.14, and includes exam-style questions to build confidence.
Ideal for KS3 Maths, GCSE Foundation, Functional Skills Level 1–2, intervention groups and revision lessons.
