Focus Question: How can I find the volume of rectangular prisms?
This is our first year with this new curriculum, Reveal Math.
This second unit is all about understanding volume, exploring with unit cubes, using formulas, finding volume for composite figures, and solving problems in volume.
Reveal Math 2.1 - Understand Volume
5.MD.C.3 - Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
5.MD.C.3a - A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube", is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume.
Reveal Math 2.2 - Use Unit Cubes to Determine Volume
5.MD.C.3a - A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube", is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume.
5.MD.C.3b - A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
5.MD.C.4 - Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
Reveal Math 2.3 - Use Formulas to Determine Volume
5.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 volume.
5.MD.C.5b - Apply the formula: V= LxWxH and V=base x H for rectangular prisms to solve the volume.
Reveal Math 2.4 - Determine the Volume of Composite Figures
5.MD.C.5c - Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this to solve real life problems.
Reveal Math 2.5 - Solve Problems Involving Volume
5.MD.C.5b - Apply the formula: V= LxWxH and V=base x H for rectangular prisms to solve the volume.
