About this worksheet
Why we built it
Year 8 builds on the Year 7 volume formula and adds capacity (litres) and a wider range of prism cross-sections. These worksheets give your student practice in both directions - calculating volume from dimensions, and working back to find a missing dimension when the volume is known.
What's covered
Sub-skills your student will practise
- ✓Volume of rectangular and triangular prisms
- ✓Volume of trapezoidal and other right prisms
- ✓Capacity (mL, L, kL) conversions
- ✓Working back from volume to find a missing dimension
- ✓Composite-prism problems (steps, swimming pools)

From our families
Parents on the practice questions.
“Tuterly has been exactly what we needed since Tom started secondary school. Once the topic tests began, he was struggling to keep up. Now he has unlimited practice, all matched to what his class is actually covering, and his Maths results have improved noticeably.”

“My daughter used to leave revision until the night before. Having a platform she can dip into for fifteen minutes after dinner has completely changed that. She's calmer going into assessments, and honestly, so am I.”

“I like that I can just keep doing questions until it clicks. If I get something wrong, it shows me why, and then gives me another one like it.”

Frequently asked
Questions parents ask about volume
What's new about Year 8 volume compared to Year 7?
Year 8 adds capacity (mL, L, kL conversions), trapezoidal and other non-rectangular cross-sections, and working back from a known volume to find a missing dimension. Cylinders arrive in Year 9.
How do students convert between volume and capacity?
1 cm^3 = 1 mL exactly. So a 500 mL water bottle holds 500 cm^3 of water. The conversion is the same whether the container is rectangular, triangular, or any other prism shape.
How does capacity relate to litres?
1000 mL = 1 L, and 1 L = 1000 cm^3 (or 1000 cubic centimetres). So a fish tank with internal dimensions 50 cm x 30 cm x 40 cm has a volume of 60,000 cm^3 = 60 L.
Why does Year 8 work back from volume to find missing dimensions?
Real-world problems often state the volume needed (a 20 L planter box) and one or two dimensions, then ask for the third. The reverse calculation - divide volume by the other dimensions - is what shows up on tests.
Want a real plan for the term?
Worksheets are great for repetition. A Tuterly tutor can spot the specific moves your student keeps getting wrong and fix them in one or two sessions.
