Year 8 Volume Worksheets | Printable PDFs
Year 8 Volume worksheets for Year 8 Maths (Key Stage 3). Students aged 12–13 learn how to calculate volume and recognise different three-dimensional shapes including cuboids and prisms. A Prism is a 3D shape with a uniform cross-section, meaning that the shape at one end is the same all the way through to the other end. Is a pyramid a prism?
The answer is no, because it does not have a uniform cross-section. Students practise finding the volume of cuboids, prisms and compound 3D shapes through a range of problem-solving activities. For the volume of 3D shapes that are not prisms, such as cones and spheres try Year 9 Volume Worksheets
