About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students find the volume of a rectangular prism by packing it with unit cubes and counting by layers.
  • Students find volume by multiplying the three edge lengths or the base area by the height.
  • Students explain why counting cubes and multiplying edge lengths give the same volume.

How to use

Use after students have built prisms with real cubes. Have them find one layer and the number of layers before they multiply, then compare the two methods in Part 3.

Toy Room Cleanup: Volume With Cube Blocks

Pack toy bins with cube blocks, then multiply edge lengths to find volume.

Part 1: Pack the bins

Each toy block is a cube that is 1 unit long on every edge, so each block is 1 cubic unit. Count the blocks by layers.

1.
Ava packs cube blocks into a toy bin until it is full.

The bottom layer has   blocks. The bin has   layers. The bin holds   blocks in all.

2.
Owen's toy bin is full of cube blocks.
Which way of counting gives the number of blocks in the bin?
  • A. 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 blocks
  • B. 3 × 4 = 12 blocks
  • C. 9 blocks in each layer × 4 layers = 36 blocks
  • D. 9 blocks in each layer + 4 layers = 13 blocks
3.
Jamal has filled only the bottom layer of this bin. The dashed lines show the empty space. The labels tell how many blocks fit along each edge.5 units2 units3 units

When the bin is full, it will hold   blocks. Jamal still needs   more blocks to fill it.
