      TEKS 5.6B: Determine Volume of Rectangular Prism

      • Volume of Rectangular Prism

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can solve problems to find the volume of a rectangular prism by using formulas V=Bh and V=lwh.

        Focuses On:

        • Finding the volume of a rectangular prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height
        • Calculating volume of a rectangular prism using length, width, and height
        • Solving for volume in real world problems

        Builds On:

        3.6C:

        Determine the area of rectangles with whole number side lengths in problems using multiplication related to the number of rows times the number of unit squares in each row.


        3.7B:

        Determine the perimeter of a polygon or a missing length when given perimeter and remaining side lengths in problems.


        4.5D:

        Solve problems related to perimeter and area of rectangles where dimensions are whole numbers.

        Next Level:

        6.8D:

        Determine solutions for problems involving the area of rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and triangles and volume of right rectangular prisms where dimensions are positive rational numbers.

        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of the concept of volume and how to find the volume of rectangular prisms.


        The two instructional blocks in this lesson are area of the base x height and calculating volume.


        The first instructional block begins by showing students how to find volume by finding the area of the base of a rectangular prism and then multiplying that by the height. This helps to build a solid foundation of the concept of volume.


        The second instructional block continues in complexity as students find volume using the formula, length x width x height. Students also apply their knowledge of volume to solve real world problems.
