Students use the roll of a die to determine the dimensions of a rectangular prism. Using these dimensions, students calculate the volume of the rectangular prism.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson students will apply their previous knowledge of finding the volume of rectangular prisms to more complex figures which can be decomposed into rectangular prisms. Students will explore the additive nature of volume in these types of figures.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson students explore the meaning of volume, explore the properties of rectangular prisms, and develop their own way of finding volume. This is remixable.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson, students explore finding volume of two non-overlapping rectangular prisms using the context of a toy factory called Cubix. It is remixable.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson students use cubes to explore the concept of volume. This lesson should be one of the first taught in the Cluster. This is remixable.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students work on determining ways to pack boxes with toys in order to examine the concept of volume. This is remixable.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers has been remixed to add day 1 and day 2 with activating prior knowledge. Students work on determining ways to pack boxes with toys in order to examine the concept of volume. This is remixable.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students explore volume and determine the size (volume) of various boxes. This is remixable.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students build and explore volume as they build boxes and rectangular prisms.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students build rectangular prisms, find the volumes, and then explore the commutative property. This is remixable.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students draw pictorial representations of rectangular prisms and examine the volume. This is remixable.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students build a rectangular prism with cubes then trade with their partner and find the volume of their partner's prism. This is remixable.

This resource explains volume to students in a way that is relateable and easy to understand. It contains a video which provides a summary of the definition of volume, volume of a rectangle, and volume of a cube, along with a quiz where students can test their knowledge, and an opportunity for students to sing karaoke.

Come join the Yum Yum Cereal Company to design their new cereal box! Students will create a hands-on cereal box to demonstrate their knowledge of volume. 

In this lesson, the students will use attempt to generalize an efficient method for finding the volume of a prism. Note: This lesson is not meant as an introduction for volume.

In this lesson, students explore the volume of rectangular prisms based on the units given for length, width and height.

Students will use attempt to generalize an efficient method for finding the volume of a prism. Note: This lesson is not meant as an introduction for volume.
