That is great MG.
So you obviously do understand that area is how many squares fit inside a 2 dimensional shape :)
Please copy and paste the questions so that it all stays together with your answers :)
Try very hard to answer the exact question that I have asked :) This is one reason why students lose marks. They do not answer the exact question that is asked :)
Question 1
Look at this shape. This is made up of cubic blocks Each side is 1cm.
What is the area of the front face? (include units)
How many cubes are in the front row?
How many rows of blocks are there counting back from the front row?
What is the volume of the prism?
Write a sentence as to why.

Question 2
What is this shape?
If you cut it anywhere, parallel to the front triangle side. What will be the shape of the cross section?
What is the area of the front triangle? (Show working)
If this was made of mm^3 blocks (some would need to be cut up) How many cubes would be needed to cover the front face?
How many rows of block triangles would you need to make the whole shape?
What is the volume of this shape? (Show working)

How many mm^3 are there in a cm^3? You have to show your working.
How many cm^3 are there in the above shape? Please do it 2 ways and check that your answers are the same. :)
