Supporting Targets:
Recognize volume as a measurement of 3D shapes.
Recognize that volume is measured in cubed units (i.e., cm3), depicting that the measurement has length, width, and height.
Calculate volume from a geometric net.
measurement
Techniques and Formulas
Calculate the volume of rectangular prims.
Vocabulary:
Geometric Nets, Volume, Length, Width, Height
Activities:
Students explored geometric nets. Then we drew various nets. Students determined how to calculate the volume of a geometric net. They looked for the length, width, & height.

Target 1

Continuation
Grade:
5th
Supporting Targets:
Define polyhedrons as a 3D figure with flat polygon faces.
Describe the three common polyhedrons (pyramids, prisms, and platonic solids).
Recognize that pyramids are named after the shape of their base.
Geometry
Shape
Classify polyhedrons based on common attributes.
Vocabulary:
Polygons, 2-Dimensional, Polyhedrons, 3-Dimensional Shapes, Base, Face, Vertex, Edge, Congruent, Parallel, Geometric Nets
Activities:
We discussed the difference between 2-D polygons and 3-D polyhedrons. Polygons have many sides, while polyhedrons have many faces. We discussed the properties of the different polyhedrons - counting the number of faces, edges, and vertices. We learned the prisms have 2 congruent and parallel bases, while pyramids have 1 base and 1 common vertex. We also explored geometric nets - a flat pattern of a 3-D shape.
