Revision notes

Revise area, volume and mensuration

Convert area and volume units, trace composite boundaries and calculate surfaces, solids, degree sectors and arc lengths.

Key ideas

  1. Units, heights and composite area

    Convert squared and cubed units, then use perpendicular heights and non-overlapping regions to calculate area.

  2. Circles and composite boundaries

    Use the radius for circle area and trace every part of a composite boundary.

  3. Cuboids and liquid volume

    Use complete layers to derive cuboid volume and measure liquid in a rectangular tank.

  4. Prisms, cylinders and exposed surfaces

    Separate cross-sectional area, perpendicular length, volume and the surfaces actually exposed.

  5. Pyramids, cones and spheres

    Distinguish perpendicular height, slant height and radius when using volume and surface-area formulae.

  6. Degree sectors and arc lengths

    Use the sector’s share of a full turn and distinguish an arc from the complete sector perimeter.

What the syllabus asks

From the G1 Mathematics 2027 syllabus

  • Area of triangle as ½ × base × height
  • Area and circumference of circle
  • Area of parallelogram and trapezium
  • Problems involving perimeter and area of composite plane figures
  • Volume and surface area of cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone and sphere
  • Conversion between cm^2 and m^2, and between cm^3 and m^3
  • Problems involving volume and surface area of composite solids
  • Arc length as fraction of the circumference and sector area as fraction of the area of a circle
