Additive Volume of Composite Figures

These Additive Volume of Composite Figures No-Prep Practice pages are the perfect tool to use when teaching volume of rectangular prisms. Students will learn how to determine the volume of composite figures through scaffolded practice.

Lesson Includes:

1. 8 printable pages
2. A link to a digital version of the activity using Google Slides™
3. The digital version includes a "how to" video for students
4. You can also use the pdf version through TpT's Easel tool

• This resource breaks down each step for students as they slowly work through each problem before moving on to more challenging ones.
• Use for continued practice after a lesson, center work, small group instruction, or even as an assessment.

Common Core Standards:

• 5.MD.C.5.C

REVIEWS FROM OTHER TEACHERS:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lori S. said, “What I really loved about this product was how it was scaffolded to help them see how to find what dimension was missing. We used highlighters to trace how to find the missing side. The tasks initially require students to identify the length of what is missing. As it progresses, students need to find and trace to the source themselves. It was a great tool! Thank you!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stephanie F. said, "This was a great resource to use for small groups for my students who weren't grasping volume. This resource was great at breaking it down step by step in an understandable way. My students finally were able to grasp volume with an unknown dimension after using this in small groups. Thank you!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ivonne B. said, "Our math curriculum just wasn't cutting it in terms of helping students understand composite 3-D figures in a digestible way (even with manipulatives). I like how this resource first prompted students to figure out unlabeled side lengths, then break the figure into rectangular prisms, then compute each volume, then add them together. It made the process very doable with clear visuals for each problem."
