Volume of Rectangular Prisms Math Worksheets & Task Cards
 
This math resource for teaching volume includes everything your students need to understand how to find the volume of rectangular solid shapes. This concept is presented in a clear, concise format that’s easy to understand.
 
Includes:
Instructional Posters/Anchor Charts
Task Cards
Worksheets
Exit Tickets
Digital Activities
 
POSTERS
There are 3 instructional posters that explain how to find volume in two different ways: when the shape is divided into unit squares and when only the dimensions are given. Students will appreciate the simple, straightforward approach, which breaks down the formula in a way that’s easy to understand.
 
TASK CARDS
Each card presents students with a shape and challenges them to find the volume. Most show figures with unit squares, but there are several that just provide the length, width, and height measurements. Questions involve:
 
identifying the length, width, or height of a shape
calculating volume of a shape
comparing the volume of two different shapes
 
Includes 20 task cards, a recording sheet, and answer key.
 
WORKSHEETS
The first worksheet is a cut and paste activity. Students cut out the shapes and glue them into the box with the correct volume. This activity is appropriate for independent practice such as math centers or homework.
 
The second worksheet includes 10 questions and can be used as practice or an assessment. Students must calculate the volume of several figures, know the formula for finding volume, compare the volume of several shapes, and identify length, width, and height measurements.
 
Answer keys are included.
 
EXIT TICKETS
This resource includes two different sets of exit tickets. The first requires students to find the volume of two shapes that show unit squares. The second requires students to find volume using only the shape's dimensions. Exit tickets are an easy way to quickly assess student understanding after a lesson. Answer keys are included.
