About the Finding Volume of 3D Shapes Worksheet

Finding Volume of 3D Shapes provides comprehensive practice in calculating volumes across a wide range of three-dimensional geometric figures. The material systematically explores volume calculations for cubes, rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, cylinders, spheres, cones, and pyramids, incorporating various measurement units including centimeters, inches, meters, millimeters, feet, and yards. Each problem is clearly presented with specific dimensions and requires students to apply the appropriate volume formula while maintaining proper unit notation.

This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Finding Volume of 3D Shapes, progresses from basic shapes to more complex scenarios involving fractional dimensions and decimal measurements. The worksheet culminates with a reflective question that encourages students to articulate their understanding of volume calculation methods across different shapes. Students must demonstrate proficiency in working with mixed numbers, decimals, and multiple units of measurement while showing their work clearly and systematically.

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.
5.MD.C.5.c
Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
