Finding Volume of Prisms

5th Grade•60 minutes

Learning Objective

I can calculate the volume of rectangular prisms using formulas.

The volume of a rectangular prism is the amount of three-dimensional space it occupies.

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is volume = length × width × height or v = lwh.

Volume is measured in cubic units, because you are multiplying three dimensions together.
