solve problems involving the volume of right prisms including rectangular and triangular prisms, using established formulas and appropriate units
Elaborations
-
building a rectangular prism out of unit cubes and showing that the measure of volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the 3 edge lengths or by multiplying the area of the base by the height/length
-
developing the connection between the area of the parallel cross-section (base), the height and the volume of a rectangular or triangular prism to other prisms
-
connecting the area of the floor space and the number of floors of a high-rise building to calculate the volume of a building
-
using dynamic geometry software, spatial reasoning and prediction to derive the formula for the volume of prisms
