Why this why now

This unit continues work on area and volume from the Year 10, introducing more complicated shapes including pyramids, spheres and cones.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Identify and name 2D and 3D shapes
  • Recall and use area and volume formulas for simple solids
  • Apply formulas for curved surfaces and composite shapes
