Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Additive Volumes. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

The formula for volume can be derived as length times width times height, or the area of the Base times the height (V = l x w x h or V = B x h).
Side lengths are whole numbers.
A unit of volume, a cube with a side length of 1 unit, is called a unit cube.
Find the total volume of solid figures composed of two right rectangular prisms.
Recognize volume as an attribute of a solid figure.
Use unit cubes as a basis for students understanding of volume as a measurable attribute.
Volume is consists of layers of measurable units.
Use Standard Units of Measure cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft and any unit that the problem presents.
Mentally decompose and recompose a right rectangular prism built from cubes into layers, each of which is composed of rows and columns.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

Give an example of a 3D object with a length, width, and height. What is the volume of an object? How do you find the volume of an object? What is an example of something with volume?

After the Game

Using what you learned in the game, what is a unit cube? What are three different units of measurement? If you had a 3D object that had an L-shape, how would you break it up to measure it? What three measurements do we use to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism? In this game, it showed the difference between cubic feet, cubic inches and cubic centimeters - did this help you to understand the difference between these three? How do you find the volume of an object? What is the formula for volume?
