Derive and apply formulae in Year 8 Maths
Start here
Focus on area and volume formulae. Start with “Calculate Average Speed”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise area and volume formulae.
The activities include Calculate Average Speed, Calculate Density, Calculate Density, Mass and Volume, and related practice. The checked support below includes teach, practice, video, teaching. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
Activities covered
- Calculate Average Speed
- Calculate Density
- Calculate Density, Mass and Volume
- Calculate the Volumes of Cubes and Cuboids
- Calculate the Volumes of Cuboids and Prisms
- Calculate the Volumes of Prisms
- Find the Areas of Triangles, Parallelograms and Trapeziums
