Apply previous understanding of volume of right rectangular prisms to those with fractional edge lengths to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

Measurable attributes of objects, specifically volume.
Units of measurement, specifically unit cubes.
Relationships between unit cubes and corresponding cubes with unit fraction edge lengths.
Strategies for determining volume.
Strategies for finding products of fractions.

Skills

Students are able to:

Communicate the relationships between rectangular models of volume and multiplication problems.
Model the volume of rectangles using manipulatives.
Accurately measure volume using cubes with unit fraction edge lengths.
Strategically and fluently choose and apply strategies for finding products of fractions.
Accurately compute products of fractions.

Understanding

Students understand that:

The volume of a solid object is measured by the number of same-size cubes that exactly fill the interior space of the object.
Generalized formulas for determining area and volume of shapes can be applied regardless of the level of accuracy of the shape's measurements (in this case, side lengths).

Vocabulary
