Examine each prism, identify the number of layers and the cubes in each layer, and use this information to determine the total volume. Students also match prisms to their correct layers and draw a single layer to demonstrate their understanding of how the prism is structured.
The activities encourage students to visualise how cubes are arranged in layers and strengthen their ability to connect layers, multiplication and total volume.
