Description

In this unit pupils extend their knowledge of shapes by exploring the properties of circles and composite shapes before developing understanding of 3-D shapes including surface area and volume.

This unit is an extension of the perimeter and area unit in year 7 (which focused on polygons), and extends this knowledge to focus on circles and circle based composite shapes then extending to look at the concept of prisms and volume.

  1. Checking understanding of perimeter
  2. Checking understanding of area
  3. Multiplicative relationships in circles
  4. Circumference of a circle
  5. Area of a circle
  6. Using the formula for the area of a circle
  7. Area of composite shapes
  8. Perimeter of composite shapes
  9. Finding a length in composite shapes
  10. Surface area of cuboids
  11. Properties of prisms
  12. Surface area of prisms
  13. Surface area of cylinders
  14. Volume of prisms
  15. Volume of cylinders
  16. Problem solving with perimeter, area and volume
