Ready for your fifth graders to take their learning of cubic units to the next level? With this worksheet, students will count the stacked centimeter blocks to determine the volume of the solid object.
Centimeter cubes have gone wild with these irregular shapes! Students will be challenged to calculate the volume of different shapes by counting the cubes.
Volume is the measurement of space occupied in three dimensions. Practice calculating the volume of 3-D shapes using a variety of techniques and with real-life examples through a series of engaging problems and questions.
With this worksheet, your students will take their learning of centimeter cubes to a 2-D rendering of their work. Students will count the centimeter blocks to determine the volume of the solid object.
Students will begin to calculate volume of different rectangular prisms using base ten cubes and then transition to using the formula V = L x W x H. Students will then practice using the legendary fifth grade activity, Cootie Catchers.
This worksheet will challenge students’ understanding of volume and the equation l x w x h = V. Then, once they solve the equation have them draw the 3-D objects. The objects will all be rectangular prisms.
With this activity, students will model a rectangular prism and calculate its volume. Use this worksheet to introduce, reinforce, and review geometry skills like modeling and solving.
