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

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

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.

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

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

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