A comprehensive course preparing 5th graders for the MAP math assessment, covering essential concepts and real-world math skills.
The volume is how much space something takes up. For rectangular boxes (prisms), use this formula:
\( \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \)
The answer is in cubic units (like cubic centimeters or cubic inches).
Knowing volume helps you pack boxes, fill aquariums, or build things in real life.
\[V = l \times w \times h\]
A box that's 4 inches by 3 inches by 2 inches has \( 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24 \) cubic inches of space.
Filling a fish tank that is 5 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft means it can hold \( 5 \times 2 \times 2 = 20 \) cubic feet of water.
Calculate how much space a box or container can hold.
