Students learn how to calculate the volume of a square-based pyramid.
As learning progresses, they are challenged to consider composite shapes involving cuboids and to find the height using Pythagoras' Theorem.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to calculate the volume of a square-based pyramid.
- Most students should be able to calculate the volume of a compound shape involving a square-based pyramid.
- Some students should be able to calculate the volume of a frustum.
