Have you ever shaken a present and tried to guess what might be inside? With this worksheet your students will calculate the volume of Christmas presents to make logical guesses as to what might fit inside the box.

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.

Find the volume for each of five word problems.

You're moving! Calculate the maximum number of each item that will fit into the bigger box.

Read the problems, then calculate the total volume for each.

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