Unit 2: Prisms and Solids
3-D Geometry and Measurement
Unit Focus:
- Structure and volume of three-dimensional (3-D) shapes
- Rectangular prisms and solids that are composed of rectangular prisms
- Examine models and patterns of 3-D shapes
- Develop strategies to find the total volume in cubic units
- Apply formulas for volume: Length x Width x Height
Mastery of multiplication facts will help students become fluent with volume computation.
