Investigating Volume

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

In this volume learning exercise, learners solve and complete 10 different problems that include determining the volume of books in a library and their weight. First, they complete the table with the weight, number of days and number of...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

Teams must determine the size of cavern needed to house the citizens of Alabraska to protect them from the asteroid impact. Using scaling properties, teams first determining the number of people that could sleep in a classroom and then...

Statistics is made approachable, and dare we say fun, in this activity on using box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Specific emphasis is placed on interpretations and explanations while graphing, and in using the...

After understanding that the volume of a unit cube is one cubic centimeter, math masters determine the volume of four larger rectangular shapes. Then they take the challenge to figure out the volume of seven irregular, cube-containing...

Upper graders explore the topic of volume. In this math lesson plan, pupils count volume in cubic units, multiply to find volume, estimate volume, write a multiplication sentence to find the volume, and make a cost analysis of different...

Build foundational knowledge of volume by building boxes. Given dimensions for a piece of grid paper, young mathematicians determine the number of possible open-top boxes it will make. As part of this task, they also find the box with...

Is it possible to find the volume of a cone? Of course! Using the formula for the volume of a cone, the video shows how to calculate an exact and an approximate answer for a cone's volume. The worksheets challenge pupils to perform...

Circle up the base. Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, the presenter calculates the volume of a given cylinder. The video shows that the volume formula for a cylinder and the volume formula for a prism arrive at the same...
