Measuring Volume
About the Module
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the skill in visualizing the volume of solid figures in different situations using
non-standard and standard units, finding the volume of a rectangular prism, solving
routine and non-routine problem involving volume of rectangular prism. The scope
of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) for Grade 4 Level.

1. Find the area of the rectangular yard with a length of 16 meters and a
width of 3 meters.

What’s New
Read the situation carefully then answer the questions that follow.
https://tinyurl.com/sj7j8wsn
What Is It
What did they do to determine the volume of an empty box?
Do the boxes have the same size?
Do the balls, marbles and beans have the same sizes?
How many balls were there in Box A?
How many marbles were there in Box B?
How many beans were there in Box C?
Did they get the same number of units for the volume of the box? Why?
3
The three boxes have the same size. However, the items used to measure
the content/volume of the box namely the balls, marbles and beans have different
sizes. Balls, marbles, and beans are used as non-standard units for measuring the
volume of the box. Non-standard units can be used to measure volume but they
do not give the same measure of volume for the same container.
REMEMBER:
Volume is the amount of space a solid figure occupies.
A solid figure is a three-dimensional shape.
Non-standard units can be used to measure volume.
When a non-standard unit used is small, more units are needed to fill a container.
When the non-standard used is bigger, fewer units are needed to fill the container.
Non-standard units do not give a consistent and accurate measurement of the
volume of a container.

Lesson VISUALIZING THE VOLUME OF SOLID
2 FIGURES USING STANDARD UNITS
Using a cubic unit of measurement can help you visualize the volume of
solid figures.
What’s In
Let us see if you can still remember what you have learned in the previous
lesson.
1. Two shoe boxes with same size were filled with ping pong balls. Shoe box
A had 20 ping pong balls while shoe box B had 30 ping pong balls.
Compare the volume of shoe box A with the volume of shoe box B? Do
they have the same of number of units? Why?
2. Mike wanted to find out which box, A or B, has the greater volume. He
filled box A with marbles. Then, he transferred the marbles to box B.
After the box B was also fully filled, there were still some marbles left in
box A. Which box has the greater volume?

What’s New
Read the problem below and answer the questions that follow.
What Is It
What is the length of the container? Width? Height?
How will you solve for the volume of the rectangular prism?
Get To Know:
The solid figure below is called rectangular prism. It has length, width,
and height. It is a 3-dimensional figure that has six faces that are rectangles,
twelve edges, and eight vertices. Vertex is the corner of a shape. Edge is a
segment where two faces of a prism meet. Some rectangular prisms have faces
that are shaped like rectangles and squares.
vertex
edge
height
width
length
6
You can get the volume of the rectangular prism using the standard units.
Let us study the following solid figures. You can count the cubes to find the
volume of the box.
3 cm = 3 columns
3 cm = 3 layers
10 cm = 10 rows
V = 10 rows x 3 columns x 3 layers
V = 90 cubes
= 90 cubic units or 90 cm3
7
REMEMBER:
Volume is the amount of space enclosed by a space figure.
Standard units are consistent and accurate.
To find the volume of a space figure, count the number of cubic units
need to fill the space figure.
