Cubic Volume

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around the calculation of volume for various rectangular prisms. Each prism is depicted with labeled edges, providing the length, width, and height in centimeters. The top of the sheet features a completed example showing how to use the formula for volume (Length × Width × Height) to calculate the volume of a cube. Below this example, students are given five additional prisms with varying dimensions to calculate the volume for each one.

The worksheet is intended to teach students how to apply the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to calculate the space inside the shape. By providing the dimensions of each edge of the prisms, the worksheet helps students practice their multiplication skills in a three-dimensional context. It encourages them to become familiar with cubic centimeters as a unit of measurement and to understand how volume can be determined through calculation rather than physical measurement. This exercise also aids in reinforcing the concept of volume as a measure of capacity in three-dimensional space, an essential skill in both mathematics and applied sciences.
