Review this resourcereally confusing and jumbled with volume of 3d shapes

Response from Teachit editor
We're sorry you've found this confusing. Each sheet is intended to be folded in half to create a booklet. Once that is done (according to the page numbers in the bottom corners), it should make sense.
The activities are good and the structure logical. It would be useful to have the pages in the correct order.

Thank you for your comments. I have used this resource with my GCSE students and found it useful too. I agree about the answers and this is something I make sure happens on resources that we publish now.

One to one tuition with students unwell and unable to attend school. A concise source of information, collecting key points and practice questions for independent study, independent revision or as a basis for class work which the teacher can supply further practice. Gives confidence to student that all points covered. Foundation level students can miss out higher level topics: Pythagoras in 3D shapes. Just right for students working towards grade C or above.
