Grade 5 Module 5 Topic A

Front

What is a cubic unit?

Back

A cubic unit is a measure of volume that represents the space occupied by a cube with sides of one unit length.

Front

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply its length, width, and height: Volume = Length × Width × Height.

Front

If a box has dimensions 3 units by 4 units by 2 units, what is its volume?

Back

The volume is 3 × 4 × 2 = 24 cubic units.

Front

What does it mean to decompose a shape into layers?

Back

Decomposing a shape into layers means breaking it down into flat sections that stack on top of each other.

Front

How many layers are in a prism that is 4 units tall if each layer is 1 unit thick?

Back

There are 4 layers in the prism.

Front

If a prism has 2 layers and each layer contains 6 cubic units, what is the total volume?

Back

The total volume is 2 layers × 6 cubic units/layer = 12 cubic units.

Front

What is the relationship between layers and volume in a prism?

Back

The total volume of a prism is equal to the number of layers multiplied by the volume of each layer.

Front

How can you visualize the volume of a prism?

Back

You can visualize the volume of a prism by imagining it filled with unit cubes.

Front

What is a rectangular prism?

Back

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces.

Front

If a shape is folded into a box, what does that imply about its volume?

Back

Folding a shape into a box implies that the volume of the shape is equal to the volume of the box it forms.
