Measuring Volume and Capacity
In this measurement learning exercise, students measure volume and capacity by doing 2 activities. Students use a hollow box, cubes, and measuring cups to measure volume and capacity.
Curated OER
Volume of a Rectangular Prism
Children use the length, width, and height of an object to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism. They observe how to multiply three numbers at a time, and define volume. Pupils observe as the teacher demonstrates how to determine...
PBS
Surface Area and Volume
You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...
Curated OER
Geometric Shapes
In this geometry and shapes worksheet, 5th graders practice calculating the shaded area of 2 objects. Students count the squares on 2 grids to find the volume of each object in cube units.
Illustrative Mathematics
Box of Clay
What happens to a volume when you scale the dimensions of a rectangular prism? In this problem, a box of clay is increased in each dimension, with the intent to see if learners can generalize the result. The addition of...
Cornell University
Scaling Down: Effects of Size on Behavior
Two activities explore the concept of size, especially small sizes down to the nano. Scholars practice determining volume, mass, and density and calculate exponential increases and decreases. They then predict and test the effect of size...

Dandy Candies
Package design is an economic necessity. Young scholars assume the role in an interesting inquiry-based lesson. Given 24 cubic shaped candies to package, they must determine the arrangement that uses the least amount of cardboard to...
Curated OER
Find the Hidden Cubes
In this hidden cubes worksheet, students estimate the volume of solid figures, then build the figure using cubes. Students then find the exact volume of the cubed figures. Answers included on page 2.
Curated OER
Area and Volume
In this area and volume activity, students calculate the area, volume, and length of sides of different cubes. Students complete this for 3 cubes and answer 3 questions.
Curated OER
Volume and Surface Area
In this volume and surface area worksheet, students read about volume and area, then solve a set of problems arranged in increasing order of difficulty.
Curated OER
Painted Cube Lesson
Young scholars differentiate between cubes and unit cubes. In this geometry lesson, students create linking cubes and use it as a manipulative to answer questions. They define the faces, edges and sides of the cubes as it relates to unit...
