Learn and practice how to find the volume of a rectangular prism with this mini-book.
Volume of a Right Rectangular Prism
Are you in need of additional math printables to use with your volume unit? Teach Starter has created a self-guided mini-book to supplement your lessons and give your students a reference tool to use.
The mini-book has 12 half-size pages. There are two versions – a filled-in version and a fill-in-the-blank version. The pages include notes about unit cubes, formulas for volume of rectangular prisms, examples, and problems for students to solve.
Students can fill in and color the notes and examples, then connect them to make the book. They can be connected with staples or hole punch and put a ring or string through. The pages include notes about unit cubes, formulas for volume of rectangular prisms, examples, and problems for students to solve.
The goal of this activity is to give students a reference to refer back to when working on finding the volume of rectangular prisms.
Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your math lessons.
In addition to individual student work time, use this mini-book to enhance learning through guided math groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments.
If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:
🆘 Support Struggling Students
If there are students who need additional support, provide the completed version, stopping after each page or two to allow students to digest information and practice. If needed, provide students with a multiplication chart to help with basic math facts.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
For enrichment, ask students to create their own instructional book about volume of rectangular prisms. Students can also use their mini-book notes to help them calculate the volume of rectangular prisms in the classroom.
