In this Grade 6 lesson from Reveal Math, Course 1 (Module 9), students learn how to find the volume of rectangular prisms using two methods: packing with unit cubes and applying the volume formula V = ℓwh. The lesson extends beyond whole-number measurements to include rectangular prisms with fractional dimensions, using both the unit cube method and the formula V = Bh to calculate volume in cubic units.
Section 1
Introduction to Volume and Unit Cubes
Volume is the measure of the amount of space inside a solid, three-dimensional figure.
It is always measured in cubic units, such as cubic inches (in³), cubic feet (ft³), or cubic centimeters (cm³).
