Volume of a cuboid · 10-12 years

Name: ____________________

Worked example

  1. The goal: work out how much the solid holds – answer in cubic units, e.g. cm³.
  2. Volume of a cuboid: length × width × height.
  3. Example: 4 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm = 24 cm³.
  4. Remember the unit: cubic centimeters (cm³) – three measurements multiplied.
  5. Check: read the question again. Does your answer give what was asked, with the right unit? Work backwards to see that it fits. ✓

About this generator

Volume measures how much space something takes up. The easier level uses small whole-number cuboids. Harder levels add larger measurements and conversion to litres. Word problems ask how much water fits in an aquarium or how many boxes fill a shelf. The answer key is calculated by the website, so it always matches the tasks. No sign-up is needed and no personal data is collected.

Popular uses

Frequently asked questions

How do I pick the right level?
Choose an age or grade in step 2. Start easier if the pupil is unsure – you can switch anytime and get new problems instantly.
Can I see the problems before printing?
Yes. The sheet shows exactly the problems that will print. Click New problems to swap them.
How do I include an answer key?
Turn on Answer key in the last step. It prints on its own page after the problems, with the same numbering.
What does the question mark next to a problem do?
It opens a step-by-step explanation of the method on screen. It is not printed and does not reveal the answer.
How do I calculate volume?
Multiply length × width × height. The unit is cubed, e.g. cm³.
How many cm³ is a litre?
1 litre = 1 dm³ = 1 000 cm³.
