Volume of Rectangular Prisms Counting Cubes Guided Notes w/ Doodles | 5th Grade

Overview

Teach 5th-grade students to identify unit cubes, understand the concept of volume, and calculate the volume of rectangular prisms by counting cubes and using the formula with this Guided Notes & Doodles resource. Students will measure volumes by counting unit cubes, as well as apply the formula V = l × w × h to find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes. It contains 10 pages, including guided notes, a practice coloring worksheet, a maze, and a real-life math application. It works well as graphic organizers, scaffolded notes, and interactive notebooks. And it's artsy—if your students love color by number, color by code, or sketch notes, they'll love these lessons.
