Find the volume of a rectangular prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the figure. Measurements include fractions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

This task challenges students to demonstrate understanding of area, surface area and volume.

In this lesson, young scholars will be required to generate a formula for volume of a rectangular prism. Students working in cooperative groups will use prior knowledge for finding area of a rectangle to determine the "amount of area in...

The purpose of this task is for students to use the volume of a rectangular prism to understand the associative property of multiplication. Aligns with 5.MD.C.5.a.

Modeling volume with centimeter cubes deepens understanding of the formula for finding volume.

A guide to support parents as they work with their students with area, surface area, and volume problems.

This exercise helps students understand how volume in figured, even when two or more parts of a prism are not overlapping. There is a teacher view, with a description of the activity and commentary, and a student view, with just the...

Find the volume of irregular 3D figures by dividing the figures into rectangular prisms and finding the volume of each part. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or...

Middle schoolers find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new,...

In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...

In Spanish. Interactive resources and activities that could be used in the classroom either as an introduction or review to a unit dealing with the volume of three dimensional figures.

This task supports the standard 5.MD.5.b in that it asks students to use the volume formula and conceptual understanding to solve real-world problems.

Students find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped box...

To display the results from the previous activity, each student designs and constructs a mobile that contains a duplicate of his or her original box, the new cube-shaped box of the same volume, the scraps that are left over from the...

For this task, 8th graders must determine the optimal dimensions of a cardboard box that will hold six cylinders of oats. To do this, they need to make surface area and volume calculations. Aligns with 8.G.C.9.

Explore the measurement of cylinders.

In this activity, students learn to calculate volume of a sphere and a rectangular prism. They explore methods of determining how many volleyballs can be placed in a room.
