SALTA 5th grade

Give students a net and ask them to predict the number of cubes required to fill the container formed by the net. Have them fold the net to make the shape so they can see how many rectangles fit together to determine the number of layers. Have them find the volume and write to justify their answer and how they found the volume. (DOK 3) Give students 24 cubes and have them make as many rectangles as possible with a volume of 24 cubic units. Students build the prisms and record possible dimensions. (DOK 2)

5.MD.4

Identify cubic measures and transfer to volume using correct unit measurement. (DOK 2)

Provide students with three-dimensional drawings that represent cubic units, then find the volume and correctly label. (DOK 1)

5.MD.5

Give the students three or four rectangular prisms (tissue box, cereal box, etc.). Ask them to predict which box has the greatest volume and explain their choice. Then ask students to find the volume of each solid compare their prediction to the actual box that has the greatest volume. Have them justify their work.
