Pop Cycle 2 - Lesson Plans

Lesson Objective: Students will determine the volume of solid figures.

Lesson Plan: The lesson will begin with a quick read aloud of the book,
Millions to Measure. I will then show students several solid figures such
as cubes, rectangular solids, and cylinders. I will ask students which
solid figure would hold the most sand? Which one do you think would
hold the least amount of sand? Students will take out their math journals
to take notes on volume and go over new vocabulary like the “volume”
and “cubic unit.” As a class, we will work through examples 1 and 2 in
the textbook. We will also review plane figures vs. 3-dimensional
shapes. Once they have taken notes I will break them into three - 20
minute rotations.

Rotation 1: Complete textbook pp. 455-457 #1-19

Rotation 2: iPads-IXL-focusing on volume

Rotation 3: Students will find the volume of a cone and a cylinder.


Students will wrap a geometric solid in aluminum foil. Making sure they
are careful to keep the shape, students will remove the solid from the
foil. Students will then fill the foil shape with unit cubes to find the
volume of each shape. Students will be provided with 3x5 cards in
which they will need to state whether this is an actual answer or an
estimate. Students will then write a few sentences on the same side of
the 3x5 card to explain their reasoning.

Lesson End: will end with all groups coming back to their desks. I will
summarize what we have just learned about volume. Students will then
flip their 3x5 cards over and use the blank side as an exit ticket. Students
must answer the questions….. Can you find the volume of a rectangle?
Does the order matter when you could the number of rows, the number
of cubes per row, or the number of layers?
