Volume is the amount of space a 3D shape takes up.

• A cubic cm block takes up 1 cubic cm. This is written as 1 cm³.
• If the shape is made of cubic cm blocks, you can count the cubes to find the shape's volume.
• Another way is by using the formula: height × width × depth

We can work out volume by counting the cubes.

Have a look at the question below.

. 

Here are some shapes made of 1cm cubes.

Count the cubes.

What is volume of each shape?

Pair these shapes with the correct volume.

Complete the sentence to show the volume of the shape.

The cuboid is made up of ....... cm cubes.

The volume of the cuboid is ....... cm3

.

True or false?

The volume of the shape is 20 cm3.
