Description
Halloween math investigation, allowing for deeper learning with a holiday theme while examining volume, capacity, rectangular prisms and length. Students brainstorm solutions to the question ‘how many chocolate bars will fit into the bucket’, using either a scaffolded pathway to solving the problem, or collecting their own measurements and ideas to determine what the solution might be. Includes reflection and extension.

CCSS5.MD.C.3
Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
CCSS5.MD.C.4
Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
CCSS5.MD.C.5
Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
CCSS5.MD.C.5a
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
CCSS5.MD.C.5b
Apply the formulas 𝘝 = 𝘭 × 𝘸 × 𝘩 and 𝘝 = 𝘣 × 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.
