Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references
Before you begin
Multiply lengths and distinguish a prism's three dimensions.
How to use this worksheet
- Model the target skill: apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = B × h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Multiply lengths and distinguish a prism's three dimensions.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Use all three perpendicular dimensions for volume and cubic units; an area calculation uses only two.
A common mistake to discuss
Use all three perpendicular dimensions for volume and cubic units; an area calculation uses only two.
What to practice next
Explain the volume as equal layers of unit cubes.
Sample question and answer
Calculate the volume of the rectangular storage prism shown below with length = 6 ft, width = 3 ft, and height = 2 ft.
- A. 11 cubic feet (ft³)
- B. 36 cubic feet (ft³)
- C. 24 cubic feet (ft³)
- D. 18 cubic feet (ft³)
Answer: B. Volume = length × width × height = 6 ft × 3 ft × 2 ft = 36 cubic feet (ft³).
