From there, it’s simple multiplication. Teach your students strategies to find the volume of shapes like these!
These volume worksheets start off quite basic, where students can get used to the formula for finding the volume of a shape. This repetition, although sometimes mundane, is so important in mathematics. Have them do 3 questions a day, and by the end of the week, they’ll have a pretty understanding of how to find the volume of a shape.
