What educators are saying
The best project ever! We were testing and this was perfect for the kiddos who finished. So much fun!
Great project for volume to use with my fifth graders, they were engaged and had a fun time getting creative, thank you!
Description
Students use isometric dot paper to draw 3-D buildings and design their own cube cities. This project is a great culmination to any study in volume.
Contents:
1. Teaching Notes
2. Student Sheets:
*Learn to Draw Cubes and Rectangular Prisms
*Draw Rectangular Prisms practice sheet
*Design a Mini Metropolis instruction sheet
*Metropolis Information Sheet, a table to collect information on volume and cost (3 options are included so teachers can select the one that best fits their students' needs: cubic cm, cubic units, blank for differentiation)
*Total Volume and Cost calculation sheet
3. Answer Keys (2), as applicable (many answers will vary)
4. Photos of Student Work
(Note: isometric dot paper is not included because this can be downloaded for free on the internet)
This project takes several days to complete. My students spent about 3 hours of in-class time; some took the projects home to complete.
The assignment requires students to:
1. draw some buildings with given dimensions, calculating volume
2. draw some buildings with a given volume, calculating dimensions
3. invent some buildings, calculating dimensions & volume
See the comments from users on how this activity might be used as a performance assessment for Common Core volume standards in grade 5. This could also be used as a STEM lesson.
My students love this project and it's a great way to apply what they've learned about volume! Enjoy!
