About this worksheet

What students practice

Students find the volume of a solid packed with unit cubes by counting the cubes.
Students find how many more unit cubes fill a partly packed mold and give its volume.
Students explain why a solid must be packed with no gaps to count its volume in cubic units.

How to use

Let students build a small wall or tower with cubes first. Remind them that each snow block is 1 cubic foot, so the number of blocks packed with no gaps is the volume.
