5th Grade Volume Educational Resources

With a clear illustration and instructions, this exercise will teach students how to calculate the seemingly complex volume of a rectangular prism.


Volume of a Rectangular Prism 

Teach students how to calculate volume by exposing them to formulas they can use on their own.


Formulas for Calculating Volume

Calculating the volume of rectangular prisms is a new skill that is introduced in 5th grade. Students will apply mathematical formulas to find the volume of different kinds of figures and also determine the volume of a figure composed of two connected rectangular prisms. Learners will also work with other kinds of measurement when they make larger or smaller versions of figures (to scale) and learn to convert measurements.

Measurement 2

Calculate the volume of each object using the base and height.

Base and Volume

Volume is the measurement of space occupied in three dimensions. Practice calculating the volume of 3-D shapes using a variety of techniques and with real-life examples through a series of engaging problems and questions.

Pump Up the Volume

Transfer student’s understanding of calculating the volume of rectangular prisms to calculating the volume of irregular shapes.

Irregular Volume Shapes

In this activity, compare the volume of the container with the volume of its contents to calculate how much each can hold.

What Does Volume Mean?

Ready for your fifth graders to take their learning of cubic units to the next level? With this worksheet, students will count the stacked centimeter blocks to determine the volume of the solid object.

Volume Cubed #1

Find the volume for each of five word problems.

Volume and Word Problems

his worksheet gives kids practice in calculating volume, a basic skill for geometry and upper-level math.

Calculating Volume

Assess your students&rsquo; knowledge of fifth grade data and measurement concepts.

Measurement & Data Review

Write the missing values for the length, width, and height of each cube.

What's the Formula?

With this worksheet, your students will calculate volumes of rectangular prisms.

Volume Calculations Introduction #1

Find the volume for each box. Use greater than and less than symbols to show which box is bigger

Smallest or Biggest?

This worksheet provides support solving volume equations.

Volume Calculations Introduction #3

Centimeter cubes have gone wild with these irregular shapes! Students will be challenged to calculate the volume of different shapes by counting the cubes.

Volume Cubed #3

With this worksheet, your students will take their learning of centimeter cubes to a 2-D rendering of their work. Students will count the centimeter blocks to determine the volume of the solid object.

Volume Cubed #2

Learners will find the volume of different rectangular prisms by counting up how many cubic units were used to make each figure.

What Do Cubes Have to Do With Volume?

This introductory worksheet provides some support when calculating the volume of rectangular prisms.

Volume Calculations Introduction #2

Have you ever shaken a present and tried to guess what might be inside? With this worksheet your students will calculate the volume of Christmas presents to make logical guesses as to what might fit inside the box.

Christmas Calculations: Volume

This printable offers a meaningful way to help students conceptualize the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and its side lengths.

Create Shapes and Find the Volume

You're moving! Calculate the maximum number of each item that will fit into the bigger box.

Applying Volume to Real Life: Moving

Volume Calculations Introduction #4

This worksheet will challenge students’ understanding of volume and the equation l x w x h = V. Then, once they solve the equation have them draw the 3-D objects. The objects will all be rectangular prisms.

Cubes and Volume

Have your child observe, measure and record the amount of space objects occupy, and you'll have an inside space explorer on your hands in no time!

Area and Volume

How are cubes related to exponents? This worksheet helps students to explore this topic by explaining that when you “cube” a number you are multiplying it by itself two times.

Exponents as Cubes

How much can you fit in each space? Calculate the volume for each item.

How Much Space Is There? (Part Two)

With this activity, students will model a rectangular prism and calculate its volume. Use this worksheet to introduce, reinforce, and review geometry skills like modeling and solving.

Modeling Rectangular Prisms

Use your geometry skills to calculate the volume in each of five word problems.

Base, Volume, and Word Problems, Oh My!

Use multiplication to find the volume of multiple containers!
