Learning Activity 6
Numeracy and Maths
Primary 5
Volume of a cuboid- (A formula)
Learning Intention: to be able to find the volume of a cuboid using a formula.
To find the volume of a cuboid, you can do so by simply multiplying
Length x Breadth x Height
Step 1:
Please click on link below and watch the first 3 lessons on volume. Mrs Manning has watched this and it explains really well the measure learning we are working on just now.
As an extension task watch lessons 4 and 5 on this link.
Step 2:
Example: length (L) = 7cm breadth (B) 5 cm and height (H) of a cuboid
Formula V (volume)= L (length) xB (breadth) x H (height) to calculate the volume (V)
V=LxBxH
V=7x5x4
V= 140 cm3 (140 cm cubed)
Step 2:
Now try the examples below and remember to write out exactly as above- no skipping steps!! You may use a calculator.
Volume Week 5
Primary 4
Learning Intention: to be able to measure and draw using cm and mm.

SCHOOL VISION, VALUES and AIMS
We are all really being challenged during this lockdown and one of the biggest challenges for you boys and girls is distance learning!! Our school visions,values and aims is at the heart of everything we do in school and it will help you meet this challenge!
There may be some of your class mates thinking I am really struggling to motivate myself and get my work completed on the class blog or I can’t be bothered I’d much rather watch TV or play a game. As a learning community in our class and in our school we all have to help and support each other.
Activity
So this week I would like you to come up with 3 good pieces of advice that keep you motivated to do your school work.(e.g. set time aside each day, keep to school hours, complete a task each day, get into a good routine, I like to keep busy, I feel I’m achieving something, I enjoy my free time better when I complete a piece of work, I know it is important that I keep learning) etc.
You can display as a poster, picture, powerpoint….I am leaving it up to you. Can you post them on the TEAM page please they can act as an inspiration to us all!
