Students find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the appropriate unit fraction side lengths, leading to the formula area = length x width.
A cumulative project where students design a structure meeting specific volume requirements and explain their mathematical reasoning.
Decomposing complex, non-overlapping solid figures into rectangular prisms to find total additive volume.
Solving real-world volume problems involving standard units like cubic inches, centimeters, and feet.
Applying volume formulas to solve for unknown dimensions (Length, Width, or Height).
Transitioning from B x h to the specific dimensions of length, width, and height (L x W x H).
