PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Learning Intentions:
- I will find the volume of solid figures
- I need to know this because it will help me in college, my career, and my life
Success Criteria:
- I use unit cubes to help me solve volume problems.
- I count unit cubes to help me solve problems.
- I check my answer for reasonableness.
Review:
What is the area of a rectangle with a width of 12.3 feet and a length of 26.3 feet?
Solve and Share:
Gina is building a rectangular prism out of sugar cubes for her art class project. She started by drawing a diagram of a rectangular prism that is 4 cubes high and 4 cubes long. How many cubes does she use to make the prism?
Partner Talk:
- The rectangular prism needs _______ cubes.
- I know this because…
- My model shows…
- I’m right because…
- I agree/disagree because...
Look Back:
Gina decided to change her art project and build a rectangular prism that is 3 cubes long, 4 cubes wide, and 2 cubes high. Use the picture to determine the number of cubes used.
Convince Me:
In the picture, how many unit cubes does it take to make the rectangular prism on the left without gaps or overlaps?
Convince Me:
How many 2-unit cubes does it take to make the rectangular prism on the left?
Watch Mr. Hatch:
Find the volume.
As a Class:
Find the volume.
As Partners:
- p. 589, Numbers 5, 6, and 7 (then both partners show Mr. Hatch)
- Done? Complete all problems on p. 589-590 on your own
Think of Mr. Hatch's hint about cheese!
