• Using the comic strip, guide your students to predict what they will be learning in the chapter.

E
Ø Use the strategy of storytelling to narrate the chapter opener.

H
Ø Have students recall their prior knowledge and lead them to understand that area and volume are used in the

S
measurement of space in 2D and 3D shapes respectively. Facilitate the discussion to find out the pre-

D I
requisite knowledge and skills of your students using trigger questions:
Ø What do you know about area? What do you know about the area of a square? What do you know

E N
about the area of rectangle (Possible answer: Area is a measure of how much 2D space is covered by an
object. Area of a square is length ´ length. Area of a rectangle is length ´ breadth)

A V
Ø What do you know about volume? (Possible answer: Volume is a measure of how much 3D space is
occupied by an object.)

L C
• Students practise convincing (TWM.04) when they can explain who they agree with and the difference between
considerations for area and volume and how to maximise the capacity of the stadium, for example, when

A L considering the capacity of a stadium, the designer needs to consider maximising the surface area of the stadium
to accommodate more audience. Unlike the stadium, if he is designing an aquarium, then he needs to consider

SH maximising the volume of the aquarium to contain more water and aquatic animals.
• Students practise critiquing (TWM.07) when they examine another mathematical statements that are different

A R from theirs.
• Students practise improving (TWM.08) when they are refining the mathematical statements or ideas by

M
examining differing views.

11.6 Volume and Surface Area of Compound Solids
Suggested Duration: 120 minutes

A
Learning Outcomes:

S
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

N
• 7Gg.07 Derive and use a formula for the volume of a cube or cuboid. Use the formula to calculate the volume of compound shapes made from cuboids, in cubic

O
metres (m3), cubic centimetres (cm3), and cubic millimetres (mm3).

I
• 7Gg.09 Use knowledge of area, and properties of cubes and cuboids to calculate their surface area.
