What educators are saying

Great resource for my 5th grade class. I was even able to make an anchor chart to display while teaching volume.
I love these resources to add to our math notebooks. They are wonderful and help students to understand the concept in an easy to understand format.

Description

Teach your students how to successfully measure volume using this comprehensive printable resource pack (including a second version of the file that has been modified to align with the NEW Georgia Math Standards for 5th Grade).

***This resource has been updated to include a second file that contains ONLY the resources that align specifically with the NEW Georgia Mathematics Standards.***  You can still pull resources from the file that uses the Common Core standards to use as enrichment, intervention, or to preview 6th grade standards (volume of composite figures).


There are 5 mini-lessons for finding volume by counting cubes, packing right rectangular prisms with unit cubes, using two formulae for calculating the volume of right rectangular prisms, finding the missing dimension of a rectangular prism, and finding the volume of composite figures.

This resource is complete, concise, and easy to follow with a clear format.  It is low-prep and easy to assign to a sub.  If your students are struggling with volume, this resource is for you!

If you’re looking for a hands-on project that incorporates interdisciplinary skills, you have to check out VOLUMEVILLE.  Your kids will LOVE IT!

The Mini-Lessons Included:  

  • Measure Volume by Counting Cubes
  • Volume of Rectangular Prisms with Unit Cubes 
  • Volume of Rectangular Prisms
  • Find the Missing Dimension
  • Volume of Composite Figures

What You’ll Get in EACH of the mini-lessons:  

  • Detailed Notes
  • Sample Problems
  • Practice Activities
  • Exit Tickets

You’ll Also Get:  

  • Quiz


How Can You Use This?

Introduce each skill with the detailed set of notes and sample problems.  I suggest doing this in a whole group setting and pulling the PDF up on a Smartboard so students can annotate over the models.

Gradually release students to practice independently using the practice pages.   Check for understanding and mastery after teaching each skill using the exit tickets.

When all skills have been taught, assess with the final quiz when you feel students are ready.
