Model Volume for Yourself!

Teach students how to calculate volume by exposing them to formulas they can use on their own.

Students will find volume for rectangular prisms by applying the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h.

Calculate the volume of each object using the base and height.

In this lesson, students will recognise volume as an attribute of solid figures and learn to calculate volume by counting cubes. This is a great introduction to the formula V = L x W x H.

In this activity, compare the volume of the container with the volume of its contents to calculate how much each can hold.

Students will apply the formula V = l × w × h to find the volume for rectangular prisms in the context of solving real-world problems.

Use this worksheet to assess your students’ understanding of units of measurement for liquid volume. Ask your students to determine the best unit of measurement for each item.

Students will calculate the volume of the box, and other calculations using rectangular prisms.
