GCSE Tier: Foundation/Higher
Targeting grades: 4-5
Prerequisite knowledge: Volume and surface area of cylinders
Learning Objective: Finding the volume and surface area of cone and spheres in terms of pi

In Terms of Pi (D) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Here is a non-calculator worksheet on the volume and surface area of cones and spheres. Answers where appropriate will be left in terms of pi.

Section A is about finding the surface area of a sphere given either the radius or diameter.

Section B is about finding the volume of a sphere given either the radius or diameter.

Section C asks for both the volume and surface area of cones given information about the radius or diameter and height or length.

Lastly, section D asks for the surface area of a hemisphere and the volume of a compound shape.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should be confident with calculating the volume and surface area of cylinders before tackling this worksheet. This foundational knowledge will help them understand the underlying principles when working with the more complex curved surfaces of cones and spheres. Having this cylinder knowledge secure makes the transition to these 3D shapes much smoother.
