Volume Poster
This handy one-page poster teaches students how to find the volume of cubes, rectangular prisms, pyramids, spheres, cones and cylinders. It provides clear and simple definitions and formulas for calculating volume.
Learning goals
- We are learning to connect volume and capacity and their units of measurement, e.g. 1ml = 1cm3
- We are learning to convert between common units of measurement for length, mass and capacity and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem, e.g. 1.25m = 125cm.
