If we take a pyramid and ‘slice’ the top off, we are left with a frustum.

• Developing learners will be able to find the volume of a frustum.

KEY TERMS
• Secure learners will be able to find the volume of a frustum with missing lengths using scale factors.
• Excelling learners will be able to solve unfamiliar problems using their knowledge of calculating the volume of a frustum.
