Volume
Description
A green cube with side length labeled as x. This image is part of a math example showing how to calculate the volume of a cube using an unknown side length. This image illustrates Example 20: The text explains how to find the volume of a cube with an unknown side length x. The formula used is V = s3, and substituting s = x gives V = x3.
Volume is a fundamental concept in geometry that helps students understand the space occupied by three-dimensional objects. In this collection, each example uses various geometric shapes to calculate volume, showcasing real-life applications of volume in different shapes.
Seeing multiple worked-out examples allows students to observe different approaches and nuances in calculations, which reinforces their understanding of volume across shapes.
Teacher's Script: Observe this example carefully. Notice the steps taken to find the volume of this particular shape. Can you see how each dimension--length, width, and height--plays a role in determining the overall volume? How might you apply this to other shapes?
