Question 1
1.
Calculate--Find the volume of the orange cardboard box in the picture.
(Think stacking one sheet of paper over and over again). For rectangular prisms only, you can check your answer for volume by doing length x width x height
CFS:
#1: Accurately identifies shape and computes area of the base, B
#2: Accurately substitutes values into the formula, V=Bxh
#3: Includes appropriate units

Question 2
2.
Fill--How much space does the Lego block take up?
CFS:
#1: Accurately identifies shape and computes area of the base, B
#2: Accurately substitutes values into the formula, V=Bxh
#3: Includes appropriate units

Question 3
3.
Triangular, Part 2--Find the volume of this triangular prism. Remember to think which shape is being repeated or stacked to make it 3D.
CFS:
#1: Accurately identifies shape and computes area of the base, B
#2: Accurately substitutes values into the formula, V=Bxh
#3: Includes appropriate units

Question 4

SUPER SPICY--Try if you have time (optional)
Model Home--Find the volume of the doll house pictured below.
CFS:
#1: Accurately identifies shape and computes area of the base, B
#2: Accurately substitutes values into the formula, V=Bxh
#3: Includes appropriate units

Question 5
5.
Toy Box--Mr. Kovalik's brother made a triangular box for his son to keep toys in. How much space is inside the box?
**You MUST SYW on formative for credit**
CFS:
#1: Accurately identifies shape and computes area of the base, B
#2: Accurately substitutes values into the formula, V=Bxh
#3: Includes appropriate units

Question 6
6.
If Mr. Kovalik's brother has a separate box that can hold 2200 in^3 of material. How many triangular boxes will he be able to fit into his separate box?
I will show a demo using an interactive tool that lets show how increasing the height of a prism is like stacking the Base area multiple times. If you'd like to play around with it on your own, click this link!
