He or she is solving real-world problems involving division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers and division of whole numbers by unit fractions. A unit fraction is a fraction with a numerator of one. The end of topic test will be given by March 13th.

Topic 10- Volume
Throughout this topic, your student is learning about volume. He or she will learn how to find the volume of a rectangular prism, and then use that understanding to formulate a plan to find the volume of a solid figure that is a combination of two or more rectangular prisms. Your student will also use models to develop the formula for volume and to recognize a cube with a side length of one unit as a unit cube having one cubic unit of volume. This will give him or her the skills necessary to solve problems involving volume, the area of the base of a prism multiplied by the height of the prism.

Teaching Volume — (Free Volume Hands-on Activity and Posters) —

September 3, 2012 | 6 Comments | Filed Under: Geometry & Measurement, Math

When we moved to the Common Core standards this year, volume was a new skill for my 5th graders. Also, since there were three standards that addressed some aspect of volume, it was assessed more frequently than the other standards. I knew I needed to find or create some quality and engaging resources for teaching volume. This post shares my go-to activities, video, and resource for teaching volume (including a few free resources).

Introducing Volume: Study Jams Video

When I introduce Volume for the first timel, I always like to start with this Study Jams video on volume. My students always love Study Jams video and this video is great for showing visuals to help the students conceptually understand the concept of volume.

Teaching Volume with Hands-On Volume Activities

After introducing the skill through this video, we do a lot of building prisms and practicing the skill in a hands-on manner. One way that we do this is by building different rectangular prism using linking cubes. Here are some of the activities we do when building prims and calculating volume (by counting the cubes and not using the formula – more about how we transition to the volume formula in the next section):

• We build a variety of prisms based on lengths, widths, and heights that I tell the students.
• The students “free build” rectangular prisms and then record the length, width, height, and the volume of the prism.
• The students build different prisms that have the same volume. Grab the free printables for this hands-on volume activity by clicking here!

Moving to the Volume Formula

After a few days of practice building prims and calculating volume, we are ready to move to the volume formula (length x width x height). I do this through an exploratory lesson where the students (at my guidance) use their unit cube prisms to derive the formula. Then, we test it out several times with new prisms before we officially decide that it is an effective and efficient formula for determining volume.

Grab these free posters for introducing and teaching volume by clicking here.

Hands-On Volume Activity Using the Formula

Even though we move to using the formula for calculating volume, we are not done with hands-on activities. One of our favorite activities is measuring actual boxes and then determining the volume of those boxes. This also helps the students check the reasonableness of the volume they calculate, which helps with estimating volume.

For this hands-on volume activity, we ask students and other teachers in the school to bring in boxes and we collect them from year to year. The students use rulers (they choose inches or centimeters) to measure the length, width, and height. Then they use the formula that we derived in the previous lesson to determine the volume.

My Go-To Resource for Teaching Volume

Hands-on activities are very important to ensure students have a conceptual understanding of volume, but we also use paper to pencil practice as well. I use the resources in my Teaching Volume Unit from TPT.

Here are some of the key resources in this Volume Resource:

• Volume Practice Printables – The printables have a variety of different volume skills for the students to practice. There are also a few printables that are activities that require the students to build and draw prisms. There is also a printable that has the students solving a performance based task involving cracker boxes with specific dimensions. There are three parts to this task and the students get to design their own cracker and cracker box design.

 

• Volume Math Centers – My favorite part of this resource are the volume math centers. The math centers include a little of everything: building prisms and calculating the volume of the prisms, spinning dimensions and then calculating volume, and then task cards that review a variety of volume skills.

 

• Additive Volume – One of the trickiest skills for the volume standards is additive volume. This resource includes a math task that is perfect for introducing the skill and then a separate printable for continued practice. Additive volume practice problems are also included in the task cards, exit slips, and assessments.

 

• Volume Assessments – The biggest key to success with this unit (besides all the hands-on practice) is regular formative assessment to see how the students are progressing. Since this is a new skill for 5th graders, it is important that we build a strong foundation and conceptual understanding without misconceptions or errors in thinking. In order to regularly monitor my students’ progress, this resource includes a variety of exit slips that address all the skills and get progressively more difficult. A two-page post assessment is also included that can be used as  a summative assessment.

09/22/21 Mathematics Grade 5 b
Theme of the lesson: Luch. Plane. Image of basic geometric shapes.

Geometry and arithmetic are important parts of mathematics. In arithmetic, we are mainly concerned with calculations, that is, operations with numbers. And the very name «arithmetic» comes from the Greek word «arithmos», which means number in translation. Let’s analyze the word «geometry» in parts: «geo» and «metry». What famous words start with geo? (Geography, geology, geodesy, etc.)

All these sciences study the earth. Indeed, the word «geo» in ancient Greek means «earth». What does the word «metric» mean? Let’s remember why we need a meter, and in what cases we use a meter. ( For measuring). Therefore, the word «geometry» can be translated as «surveying». Paper had not yet been invented in antiquity, so drawings were then often made on the ground. You will draw in notebooks.

The surface of the chalkboard and the pages of a notebook are flat surfaces or, as they say in geometry, planes. More precisely, they are only finite parts of infinite planes.

— Which of the following surfaces — a floor, a ceiling, a curtain, a flower petal, a tree leaf, a handle — can be considered flat?

— Give examples of your flat surfaces.

In geometry, we deal with drawings — drawings, which depict geometric shapes.

— By what rule were the figures combined into groups?
(Hint* Plane figures and three-dimensional bodies)

— Name the plane figures you know
(Hint* square, triangle, circle, rectangle)

— Name three-dimensional bodies you know.
(Hint* Cube, cylinder, cone, pyramid, ball)

The word «figure» in Latin means «appearance», «image». Name objects that have the shape: ball, circle, square, cube.

— You are already familiar with the basic geometric shapes. This is a point, a segment, a ray, a straight line, an angle, a triangle, a rectangle, a polygon, a circle.

1. Reference. The figure shows a line, a segment, a ray, an angle, a triangle, a circle, a rectangle, a circle, a rectangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a circle.

   — List each of these shapes.

   — What drawing tools do you need to draw these figures?
   All these figures, except for the dot, are drawn using lines.

2. Job. Performed independently.

   1) Draw line segment AB. Mark points so that point:

   a) K did not belong to segment AB;
   b) L belonged to segment AB;
   c) N was between points A and L;
   d) M was on the segment between points N and L.

   2) How many segments were formed on the segment AB?

   CHECK:.

3. There are infinitely many lines that can connect points A and B. Line AMNB is called a broken line, it consists of three links — segments AM, MN, NB. Imagine that all three of our lines are threads. Then both the broken line and AMNB, and the curve AB can be straightened by pulling, for example, the end of B. But the segment AB cannot be stretched. This means that it is the shortest of all the lines connecting points A and B. Therefore, the length of the segment is considered the distance between points A and B.

4. RULES for reading equalities and inequalities with segments.
   In equality, everything on the left side is read in the nominative case, and everything on the right side is read in the dative case.

   EX. AB \u003d 7 cm — the length of the segment AB is seven centimeters.

   In the inequality, everything on the left side is read in the nominative case, and everything on the right side is read in the genitive case.

   EX. AB

5. Task

   Point K lies between points C and B, and point N lies between points K and C. Compare the lengths of the segments and write down the result using inequality signs:

   1) CB and NK; 2) CN and SC; 3) VN and VK; 4) SW and SC.

   CHECK:

   1) CB NK; 2) СN ВК; 4) SV SK.

6. Oral work.

   1) Read the entries:
   a) AB = CD; e) pH = 5 m 6 dm;
   b) EF c) MN OS; g) XY = XE — EY;
   d) RT = 3mm; h) DF = CD 5.

   2) Answer the questions.

   — Which points belong to the segment KL?

   — Between which points is located:
   a) point L? b) point A?

   — Which point is located between:
   a) points K and B?;
   b) points B and L?.

   — Find the length of the segment KL if it is known that KD = 15cm, LW = 9cm, BA = 21cm, AL = 7cm.

7. Homework.

   1) Practice in drawing segments with ends at given points.

   2) Assignment — for strong students. Conclude that the sum of the distances from the point to the ends of the segment is equal to the length of the segment if the point belongs to the segment, and more than the length of the segment if the point does not belong to the segment.

Complete the sentence.
I can…
I can…
I know…
