Volume

This document provides instructions for teaching a lesson on calculating the volume of rectangular prisms. It includes what students should do when they enter the classroom, watching an introductory video on volume, key vocabulary terms like prism and volume, an explanation of how the volume formula works by multiplying the area of the base by the height, and steps for using the formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism.

What: Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Objective: SWBAT calculate the volume


of a rectangular prism or cube by
multiplying the length width and
height by labeling it with the
appropriate units with 80% accuracy.

What to Do When I Come In:


1.Sit down in my seat QUIETLY
2.Get out your Math Folder, Math Notebook and a
pencil.
3.Start writing down the date, the WHAT, and the
OBJ.
4.Wait quietly for the lesson to start.

Now Lets Watch a Video

Vocabulary From the Video


Prism: A 3-D figure with two parallel
congruent bases.
What types of bases can a prism have?

Volume: The number of 1 by 1 by 1


cubic units or unit cubes needed to
fill the space of a 3-D shape.
How it is found: Counting the cubes or
using the formula
How it is measured: cubic units (units3).

How Does the Formula Work


We could just count all the cubes, but
that would be a lot of work.
To find volume of a prism, we use the
formula Area of the Base times the
height.
Bxh

Since the we are focusing on rectangular


prisms, our bases will be..and our
volume formula will look like this.
l x w x h (length times width times height)

Food for thought:


If the formula for all prisms is B x h
and the specific formula for a
rectangular prism is
l x w x h,
what do you think the formula for a
triangular prism looks like? Or even a
trapezoid prism?

Steps for Rectangular


Prisms
1. Write Down Formula (l x w x h)
2. Find the numbers that represent
length, width, and height in your
formula and plug them in.
3. Solve/Multiply.
4. Dont forget your units!
