| Discovering
the Formula for Volume: Students are encouraged
to explore the relationship between the measurements
of length, width and height and the volume of an object. |
|
|
| Changing
Dimensions: In this activity students learn
what happens to the volume of a solid if one or more
of its dimensions are changed as the teacher demonstrates
the changing dimensions while building solid with cm
cubes. |

| Exploring
Volume: In this lesson, students are guided
through activities that encourage them to discover the
formula for the volume of cylinders and prisms = the
area of the base times the height. |

| Volume
FUNctions - Consider the perimeter of two
rectangles - 39 ins. Think of making baseless cylinders
from all the rectangles with a 39 inch perimeter. What
are the dimensions of the rectangle that would produce
the cylinder with the greatest volume? This activity
is also great for discovery learning. Print it and have
students solve it on their own! (GM 70) |
