The pedagogical purposes are to revise all circle material, and to introduce the challenge of working with less conventional measures and numbers.

Measure the volumes of objects

Lesson idea. This lesson is aimed at top-set, year 11 GCSE students who understand the definition of prisms, and have 'had a go at' calculating volumes and surface areas of prisms. The questions are deliberately challenging and may require a few calculation stages.

Teaching approach. This resource offer students the opportunity to engage in active learning(ta) - measuring and calculating using large size cylinders and frustums. This lesson brings great opportunity for small group "dialogic teaching(ta)". Open-ended and closed questioning(ta) of students can be used to draw on their existing knowledge and extend their understanding. The teacher provides a practical commentary below. (edit)
