Functional Skills Maths Level 2: Volume of cuboids, cylinders, prisms

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine a box of chocolates 🍫 — it's a cuboid. To find the space inside, we multiply length × width × height.

  2. 2

    What do we multiply to find the volume of a cuboid?

  3. 3

    A cuboid is 5 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 2 cm high. Let's find its volume together.

  4. 4

    Try this cuboid: length = 4 cm, width = 2 cm, height = 3 cm. Build it and find the volume.

  5. 5

    What is the volume of a cuboid with length 6 cm, width 5 cm, height 4 cm?

  6. 6

    A cylinder is like a can of beans 🥫. Its volume = area of the circle × height. The area of a circle is π × radius².

  7. 7

    A cylinder has radius 3 cm and height 5 cm. Find its volume (use π ≈ 3.14).

  8. 8

    For a cylinder, what is area × height?
