What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 2 to 6.
A careful solution takes 2 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 79% of the problems: the three lengths were multiplied — that is the volume; a surface area adds up the faces.
Answers are a whole number.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 15 different ones, 6% — so a sheet of 20 will come back to a problem you have seen — there are only so many sensible ones of this kind.

We would put this in front of a grade 7 class. That is our judgement, not a standard, and it is printed here so you can disagree with it. Everything else we put in that year.
