Area and Volume of Similar Shapes (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 10, Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 6-7
Prerequisite knowledge: Finding the length scale factor of enlargement. Calculate the area and volume.
Learning Objective: find the area and volume of simialr shapes

Area and Volume of Similar Shapes (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Work with area and volume of similar shapes throughout this worksheet. In section A, students will discover the area and volume scale factors for enlargement by looking at cubes.

Section B is all about the area of similar shapes. Students will calculate the area of enlarged shapes as well as using the areas of two similar shapes to calculate a missing length before answering two-worded questions.

Learners will work with the volume of similar shapes in section C where again they will calculate the volume of enlarged shapes as well as using the areas of two similar shapes to calculate a missing length before answering two-worded questions.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should already be comfortable with finding the length scale factor of enlargement before tackling this resource. They'll also need solid foundations in calculating area and volume, as these skills form the building blocks for understanding how these measurements change when shapes are enlarged or reduced.
