I-READY UNIT 1

This unit introduces students to finding volume and extends students’ understanding of multiplication and division of whole numbers. The big ideas students will be learning are:

1. Volume is the amount of space inside a three-dimensional figure. Knowing how many unit cubes fit inside a figure determines its volume.

2. You can use what you know about finding the area of rectangles as the first step in calculating the volume of rectangular prisms.

3. You can use place value, area models, and other strategies to multiply multi-digit numbers and divide by two-digit divisors.
