Year 11 Volume Worksheets (GCSE) | Printable PDFs
Year 11 Volume worksheets for Year 11 Maths (Key Stage 4, GCSE). In Year 11 GCSE Maths (ages 15–16), students study volume of both familiar and more complex 3D shapes, often in problem-solving contexts. Year 11 students are expected to recognise and describe a frustum and calculate the volume of a frustum.
A frustum is the shape left when the top of a cone or pyramid is cut off parallel to its base. Some students may wish to practice finding the volume of cones, spheres and pyramids, for that see Year 10 Volume Worksheets.

Common Questions about Year 11 Volume
What is a frustum?
A frustum is the shape formed when the top of a cone or pyramid is cut off by a plane parallel to its base.How are volume word problems different from standard volume questions?
Volume word problems require you to interpret a real-life situation, identify the relevant measurements and choose the correct formula before calculating.Why is volume an important GCSE topic?
Volume combines geometry, algebra and problem-solving skills, making it a common topic in higher-grade GCSE examination questions.
Year 11 Volume Common Mistakes
Common Mistake 1
Students sometimes use the full cone or pyramid volume instead of subtracting the smaller removed shape when working with frustums.Common Mistake 2
Students often mix up radius and diameter in cone and sphere questions. If the diameter is given, divide it by 2 before using the formula.Common Mistake 3
Students may forget to keep units consistent. For example, measurements in cm and mm must be converted before calculating the volume.
