Volume Measurement Concepts

This lesson covers measuring volume in cubic meters, explaining that a cubic meter contains 1,000 cubic centimeters. It includes a visual demonstration of a cubic meter and encourages students to estimate the volume of their classroom in cubic meters. An example problem is provided, followed by a practice exercise to reinforce the concept. The lesson concludes with an assignment on page 147, covering questions one to five.
