KS2 Primary Maths Age 13-17 - Measure: Volume - Explained

The video tutorial covers a 2017 SATS question involving a cube and a cuboid with equal volumes. It explains the properties of cubes and cuboids, calculates the volume of cube A, and finds the missing dimension of cuboid B using algebra. The tutorial concludes with exam tips and encourages students to practice similar questions to build confidence.

What is the primary characteristic of a cube that differentiates it from a cuboid?

• It has no edges.

• All edges are equal in length.

• All edges are of different lengths.

• It has more faces than a cuboid.

How do you calculate the volume of a cube?

• Divide the height by the width.

• Subtract the width from the length.

• Multiply the length, width, and height.

• Add the length, width, and height.

What is the volume of a cube with each side measuring 6 cm?

• 216 cm³

• 144 cm³

• 72 cm³

• 36 cm³

If a cuboid has a volume of 216 cm³ and two of its dimensions are 6 cm and 4 cm, what is the missing dimension?

• 8 cm

• 9 cm

• 10 cm

• 11 cm

What method was used to find the missing dimension of the cuboid?

• Trial and error

• Using a calculator

• Solving an equation

• Guessing
