|content=This lesson is aimed at year 11 GCSE students in tops sets who have a solid understanding of the definition of prisms, and have already had a go at calculating some volumes and surface areas of prisms. The questions are deliberately challenging and some have a few calculation stages. At the beginning of the lesson each group of students should be assigned a drum. They are then required to complete the set of questions associated with that drum, before starting to work on another drum (Something like circle training). It is a good idea to have a few spare drums for those who are quick to complete their task and are keen to move on. | |content=This lesson is aimed at year 11 GCSE students in tops sets who have a solid understanding of the definition of prisms, and have already had a go at calculating some volumes and surface areas of prisms.
