5th Grade Volume of Rectangular Prisms Worksheet

About the Volume of Rectangular Prisms with Unit Cubes 3 Worksheet

Volume of Rectangular Prisms with Unit Cubes 3 focuses on developing advanced computational skills in calculating the volume of rectangular prisms using unit cubes. The material presents ten carefully structured problems that require students to multiply length, width, and height measurements given in unit cubes. Each problem involves different dimensions, challenging students to work with various combinations of numbers while maintaining accuracy in their calculations.

This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Volume of Rectangular Prisms with Unit Cubes 3, guides students through increasingly complex volume calculations. Students learn to systematically approach each problem by identifying the three dimensions and multiplying them together to find the total volume in cubic units. The progression of problems helps build confidence in handling larger numbers and more challenging calculations while reinforcing the fundamental concept that volume represents the total number of unit cubes that fill a rectangular prism.

Common Core Standards Covered

5.MD.C.5

Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.

5.MD.C.5.a

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.

5.MD.C.5.b

Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
