Understanding Volume

This video tutorial introduces the concept of volume as a three-dimensional measure of space occupied by an object. It explains how to measure volume using standard units like cubic inches, feet, and centimeters. The tutorial includes practical examples, such as creating a 24 cubic centimeter object using cubes and calculating the volume of a toy staircase. The video emphasizes understanding volume through comparison with known units and counting the number of units needed to fill an object.

What is volume primarily used to measure?

• The weight of an object

• The space taken up by a three-dimensional object

• The color of an object

• The height of an object

Which of the following is a standard unit of volume?

• Circular inches

• Linear inches

• Cubic inches
