Common mistakes
What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.
Adds the dimensions instead of multiplying.
Correction: Volume = l × w × h.
Counts only three faces for surface area.
Correction: A cuboid has six faces — three matching pairs.
Teacher tips
- · Build cuboids from cubes before using the formula.
Parent tips
- · Work out how many sugar cubes fit in a box.
Real-life applications
- · Filling a fish tank, wrapping a present.
