Instructional Ideas

  • Use blocks to build composite figures and take measurements to make calculations
  • Treat the classroom as an irregular three-dimensional object and find its volume

Classroom Considerations

  • Pupils should be able to find the volume of prisms fluently before the lesson
  • 27th installment in a series of 29 lessons

Pros

  • Includes a detailed answer key with worked-out solutions and explanations
  • Provides context for examples within the lesson

Cons

  • None
