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.

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

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

In this lesson, students will recognize 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.
