Cubes and Box Volume Concepts

In this lesson, students learn about volume and how to determine the capacity of objects to fill cubes. The teacher demonstrates folding a figure into a box and calculating how many cubes can fit inside. Students are encouraged to predict the volume and then verify it by filling the box with cubes. The lesson concludes with an invitation to redo the exit ticket to demonstrate understanding.
