Standards Alabama Course of Study Standards:

(State and
ISTE 18- Identify volume as an attribute of solid figures, and measure volumes by
Standards for counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised
Students) (non-standard) units

a. Pack a solid figure without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes to

Page 1 of 8
 demonstrate volume as n cubic units.

19- Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve
real-world and mathematical problems involving volume.

a. Use the associative property of multiplication to find the volume of a

right rectangular prism and relate it to packing the prism with unit
cubes. Show that the volume can be determined by multiplying the
three edge lengths or by multiplying the height by the area of the
base.

b. Apply the formulas V = l x w x h and V = B x h for rectangular

prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-
number edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and
mathematical problems.

ISTE Standards:

Designer
Educators design authentic, learner-driven activities and environments
that recognize and accommodate learner variability.

Educators:
a. Use technology to create, adapt and personalize learning experiences
that foster independent learning and accommodate learner
differences and needs.

b. Design authentic learning activities that align with content area

standards and use digital tools and resources to maximize active,
deep learning.

c. Explore and apply instructional design principles to create innovative

digital learning environments that engage and support learning.

Digital Citizen
Students recognize the rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of
living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they
act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.

Students:
a. cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are
aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world.

Page 2 of 8
 b. engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using
technology, including social interactions online or when using
networked devices.

c. demonstrate an understanding of and respect for the rights and

obligations of using and sharing intellectual property.

d. manage their personal data to maintain digital privacy and security

and are aware of data-collection technology used to track their
navigation online

Objectives Students will be able to

• understand unit cubes and how they can be used to build a solid figure.
• find volume by counting the number of unit cubes that fill a right rectangular
prism.
• estimate the volume of a right rectangular prism.
• find the volume of a right rectangular prism.
• use a formula to find the volume of a right rectangular prism.
• engage in the safe use of technology while using it to enhance their learning
experience
• use digital tools appropriately to learn more about volume
• use a formula to find the volume of a right rectangular prism.

Differentiation The lesson will be taught using a variety of learning styles: auditory, kinesthetic,
Strategies and visual. Students who need limited distractions or have an accommodation
that requires proximity to the teacher will have preferential seating. The teacher
will allow students to work in pairs while the teacher moves continuously
around the room.

E Description

Engageme Use Steve Wyborneys “How many Cubes?” Start on slide 28 (Level 5)
nt How-Many-Cubes-and-How-Do-You-Know.pptx (live.com)
Have students guess how many cubes would fit in each rectangular prism. Explain
that they are estimating. Discuss how you could quickly find how many cubes would
fit in each rectangular prism. Have students try to discover the volume formula.

Engageme The teacher will note student responses to the rectangular prism slides. Students will
nt write estimates on whiteboards. The students will find the actual volume once the
Assessme rectangular prism is filled with cubes. Do not give students formula yet. Have them
nt discuss easier ways to find how many cubes are in the box. This will serve as the pre-
assessment for the unit, and the teacher will make any needed changes.

Exploratio On their chromebooks, students will use the google slides Volume task cards to make
n rectangular prisms out of unit cubes. Students will build each prism and count how
many cubes they used. As they build the rectangular prisms, they will count the
blocks that make up the length, the width, and the height. They will record each
measurement on their recording sheet. See attached.

Exploratio Students will fill in the length, width, and height of each prism and include it on their
n recording sheet. Recording sheets will be checked by the teacher. Teacher will also
Assessme be observing students as they work in pairs to make their prisms.
nt

Explanatio After the prisms are built, discuss ways to find how many cubes it took to build one
n of the prisms. Discuss the different ways that they could find the total. How does the
length, width, and height measurements help you find the total amount. Discuss
volume. Make an anchor chart. Show students the presentation -building a prism
Google Slides - Finding Volume .
It models how the formula is derived from area of a base to volume of a prism.
Show students a variety of prisms and have them find the volume. Making sure that
they are using the formula. Show prisms that are cut into cubes and those that are not.
Students will complete a Quizizz for practice, Volume of Rectangular Prisms |
Quizizz
For independence practice, students will complete a google slide activity. Volume of
a Rectangular Prism - Classwork google slides

Explanatio Students will complete the rectangular prism activity on google slides and share with

n the teacher. Teacher will check for accuracy.

Assessme
nt

Elaboratio Students will create a story problem on a google slide. Working in pairs, students will
n write a word problem where they must find volume. They need to include a picture, a
problem, and the solution. They will share it back with the teacher when they are
finished.
