III. Procedures
A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson

Hello again! How was your week? I hope you’ve been doing well. Time really flies, doesn’t it? We are already
on the last quarter of this school year. Are you ready for our first lesson this quarter? I bet you are! Let’s begin.

To start with, let us have a review on solid figures. Do you still remember them?

Solid figures are three-dimensional objects having length, width and height. These include cube, rectangular
prism, triangular prism, square-pyramid, rectangular-based pyramid, triangular-based pyramid, cone, cylinder
and sphere.

DRILL

Can you name the solid figure that these real-objects resemble? Write your answer on the blank.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

Luis would like to put blocks in a box. He would like to find out how many blocks the box
can contain. This situation calls for finding the volume of a solid figure. The volume of a
solid figure is the amount of space it occupies. It is expressed in cubic units. (cm3, m3,
km3, in3 etc.)

 C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson

Study the situation below.

ENGAGE

This cube was painted on all sides and then cut into 27 smaller cubes.
a. How many smaller cubes have paint on only 2 sides?
b. How many smaller cubes have paint on only 1 side?

EXPLORE

The large cube has 12 edges and 6 faces.

a. After cutting, each edge contains 1 small cube with 2 painted faces; a total of 12.
b. After cutting, each face has 1 small cube with 1 painted face; a total of 6.

EXPLAIN

The volume of a solid figure is the amount of space inside it. Volume is measured in cubic units, which means
how many cubes of a given size it takes to fill the solid figure.

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VOLUME OF A RECTANGULAR PRISM AND PYRAMID

Volume of Prisms

The volume of a prism is the amount of space inside To find the volume (V) of a prism, multiply
the prism. the number of cubic units needed to cover
We can use the given diagram below to show why the the base (B) by the number of layers (h)
formula of any prism works.

Therefore,

Volume (V) = base area (B) x height (h)

V=Bxh

Since B = L x W, then V = L x W x H

Example 1 Find the volume of the refrigerator.

Solution:
V=lxwxh
= (3 m) x (2 m) x (6 m)
V = 36 m3

Thus, the volume of the refrigerator is 36 m3.

Volume of Pyramids

The volume of a pyramid is the amount of space inside the pyramid. Volume is measured in cubic units which
mean it tells us how many cubes of a given size it takes to fill the pyramid.

2|P age
Example 2 It takes three pyramids of popcorn to fill the rectangular box. The pyramid and the rectangular
prism have the same base and height.

Therefore,
Volume of the pyramid = 1 x volume of a rectangular prism
3
Volume of a rectangular prism, V = l x w x h
So for a pyramid, V = 1 x l x w x h or l x w x h
3 3

The volume of a pyramid is 1 the volume of a prism with the

3
same base area and height.

Example 3 Find the volume of the given pyramid.

V = 1/3 (l x w)(h)
V = 1/3 (3 x 4)(8)
= 1/3 (12) (8)
= 1/3 (96)
= 96
3
= 32 in³

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 32 in³.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VOLUME OF A CYLINDER AND A CONE

Volume of Cylinders

The volume of a cylinder is the amount of space inside a cylinder. Finding the volume of a cylinder is similar to
finding the volume of any other prism.
The volume of a cylinder is the product of the circular base area (B) and the height.
Therefore, V = πr²h

Example 4 Find the volume of the coffee mug with a height of 12 cm and a radius of 6 cm.
Solution:

V = πr²h
= 3.14 x 62 x 12
= 3.14 x 36 x 12
= 1 356.48 cm3

So, the volume of this mug is 1 356.48 cm3.

Volume of Cones

Study the situation below.

At Five-Six Convenience Store, you can buy a Big Gulp or a Little Gulp juice. The Big Gulp comes in a can,
while the Little Gulp is served in a cone.

h = 8 in
h

How many bases does a cone have? What is the shape of the base of the cone?

The Big Gulp and the Little Gulp containers have equal radii and equal heights. So, it takes three Little Gulps to
fill one Big Gulp.

What fraction of the volume of a Big Gulp is the volume of the Little Gulp?

The volume of a cone is 1 the volume of a cylinder with the same area (base) and height. (h)

F. Developing mastery

VOLUME OF SPHERES
Volume is measured in cubic units. A circle on a sphere with the same center as the sphere has an
area of πr². Imagine this same circle as the base of a cylinder that exactly contains the sphere.

The volume of this cylinder would be the area of its base times its height, which is πr² x 2r or 2 r3. The sphere
does not fill the whole cylinder. In fact, its volume is 2 of the volume of the cylinder.
3
Therefore, the volume of a sphere is 4 πr3

Example 6
Find the volume of the sphere.
4
V= 𝜋r3
3
V= 4 x 3.14 x 503
3
V= 4 x 3.14 x 125 000
3
V = 4 x 392 500
3

V= 523 333.33 cm3

3
So the volume of the sphere is 523 333.33 m
5|P age
Try this!

What is the volume of this sphere?

You should get 7.23456 cm³ as the final answer.

If you got the correct answer, you may proceed with the next part of the lesson.
If not, I am sorry but you have to go back to the examples and try all over again.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living

Math and volume are frequently used in daily life whether you are measuring ingredients of a recipe, fueling up
a gas tank or even hydrating our body. Volume is required for everything from measuring liquids to calculating
drinking amounts. In addition, volume has nothing to do with weight or mass of the object; it's a dimension of
how important space a liquid or gas occupies. The volume of a solid can be measured using liquid
displacement, whereas mass refers to the quantity or amount of matter in an object.

Here are some situations where volume is used in our daily lives:

Staying hydrated
One of the most common uses of volume daily is in calculating drinking amounts. Soda is available in 12-
ounce cans or 20-ounce bottles. Someone at the bar may order a pint of beer. The Mayo Clinic recommends
that people drink slightly more than 8 cups of water per day, or eight 8-ounce glasses of water, or
approximately 1.9 liters.

Fuel Up!
When you fill up your car, the amount of gasoline in your gas tank determines your purchase. The amount is a
volume calculation, regardless of whether you fill up with gallons or liters of gasoline or other fuels. On a
smaller scale, when you fill up a gas can to transport to another vehicle or power another device, you use
volume to determine the amount required.

Cooking and Baking

The number of measuring cups and spoons in the average kitchen reflects how frequently volume is used
when cooking. Volume is a measurement that is used in almost every recipe, from the 1/4 cup of oil required in
a brownie recipe to the quart of chicken broth required in chicken noodle soup.

Cleaning House
Most housekeeping tasks involve the use of volume. When washing clothes, you use a specific amount of
laundry liquid based on the load or volume of the tub and the clothes being washed. When using concentrated
cleaning detergents, you mix a predetermined amount of cleaner with a predetermined amount of water. You
frequently apply a certain amount of liquid to whatever you are cleaning.

It’s your turn! Can you also cite some uses of volume in our daily lives?

H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

REMEMBER:
The volume of a solid figure is the amount of space inside it. Volume is measured in cubic units, which means
how many cubes of a given size it takes to fill the solid figure.

To find the volume (V) of a prism, multiply the number of cubic units needed to cover the base (B) by the
number of layers (h)

The volume of a pyramid is 1 the volume of a prism with the same base area and height.
3
The volume of a cylinder is the product of the circular base area (B) and the height.
Therefore, V = r²h

The formula for the volume of a cone is 1 the base area times the height.
3
The volume of a sphere is 4 πr3.
