About this worksheet

Suits Years 5 to 7

Drawn solids with their measurements marked, and the task of turning picture into volume.

The reading is half the work: which number is the height, which the width, what shape is the base. Formula-picking from a picture is its own skill, and this page trains it.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Give the sheet a title, or keep the one suggested.
  2. Press Generate for a fresh page of solids.
  3. Print it. Answers included.

Every press of Generate lays out a fresh sheet, ready to print on A4.

Common questions

What comes first, formula or picture sense?

Picture sense. A child who can point to the base and the height on any drawing can be handed formulas one at a time. The reverse order produces formula roulette.

A sanity check for volume answers?

Compare against a known box: if the solid would fit inside a 10 by 10 by 10 crate, the answer must be under 1000. A one-line reasonableness check catches slipped digits.
