Area and Volume of Similar Shapes (C) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is designed to give learners the opportunity to explore the connection between the lengths, areas and volumes of similar shapes.
It looks at the relationship between the length scale factor (LSF), area scale factor (ASF) and the volume scale factor (VSF). It also gives questions involving the ratios of the lengths, areas and volumes of similar shapes.
The sections are sturctured to ramp up the difficulty and scaffold the problems to build understanding. The worksheet ends with some exam-style problems to solve.
