Supplement This Comparing Volumes Worksheet

This comparing volumes worksheet is a great introduction to volume, but the concept truly comes alive when you supplement worksheets like this with hands-on activities. We have compiled a list of some your students are sure to enjoy: 

• Cube Build: Have students build rectangular prisms or irregular shapes using a set number of centimeter cubes. Then, ask them to count and record the volume of each.
• Hands-On Volume Sort: Split students into small groups and provide each with objects from around the classroom. Students work together to sort and rank items by volume, and then rotate to the next set of objects. 
• “Fill’er Up!” Challenge: Give students a container and have them estimate and then measure how many centimeter cubes it takes to fill it. This is a great way to help students connect the concept of filling space with actual volume measurement.
