Volume Detectives – Task Cards

Checking your access...

Put students in the role of “Volume Detectives” as they interpret clues and work out the volume of different prisms.
Each of the 20 cards presents a word problem using cube-based descriptions of length, width, height and layers. Students visualise and build each prism before calculating its total volume.

A fun and engaging way to practise volume with increasing independence, supported by included answer cards.
