Understanding Volume

This lesson explains how to measure the volume of three-dimensional solids, focusing on rectangular prisms. It covers the basics of two-dimensional shapes, including polygons, perimeter, and area, before moving on to three-dimensional concepts like surface area and volume. The lesson emphasizes using unit cubes to measure volume, providing a clear understanding of how to calculate the space occupied by a solid. By the end, students will be able to differentiate between area, perimeter, and volume, and apply these concepts to measure geometric shapes accurately.
