Volume and 3D Shapes

Help plan a tiny cubby for a toy town. Read each clue carefully, use the cube pictures and show your thinking. Volume tells how much space a 3D object takes up.

Spot the 3D shapes

A 3D shape has length, width and height.

1.Which two objects are shaped like a cylinder? Choose two.
  • A tin can
  • A dice
  • A soup can
  • A book
2.Match each shape to its clue.
  • Cube
  • Cylinder
  • Rectangular prism
  • Two circular faces and one curved surface
  • Six rectangular faces
  • Six square faces
3.The cubby plan uses a rectangular prism. Name one everyday object with this shape.

Block A: one layer, 3 cubes long and 2 cubes deep.

Block B: two identical layers, each 3 cubes long and 2 cubes deep.

Find the volume

Count unit cubes to measure volume. We can write the answer in cubic units. For a rectangular prism, multiply length × width × height.

4.Use the Build with unit cubes panel. What is the volume of Block A?
5.Block B has two layers. How many unit cubes are in all? Explain how you counted.
6.A cubby is 4 cubes long, 2 cubes deep and 2 cubes high. Complete the calculation: 4 × 2 × 2 = cubic units.
7.A small box is 3 cm long, 2 cm wide and 2 cm high. What is its volume? Show the multiplication you use.
8.True or false? If each cube is the same size, a block made from 10 cubes has a greater volume than a block made from 7 cubes.
TrueFalse
Draw a rectangular prism made from unit cubes that has a volume of 8 cubic units. Add labels showing its length, width and height.
9.The cubby floor is 5 cubes long and 3 cubes wide. How many cubes would cover one flat layer of the floor?
