8 cubes. Did we change the ground floor? Why or why not? Turn and talk. No, we just built on top of it. The second layer of cubes doesnt make it take up more space on the ground. We built up, not out, so the structure got taller, not longer or wider. Put one more layer of 4. (Pause.) Explain to your partner how you know the total number of cubes. I just counted up from 8 as I put each cube. Each floor had 4 blocks, so its 3 fours. I thought of 3 times 4, 12. What is the total number of cubes in your solid? 12 cubes.
Problem 2: Build solids with a given volume with cubic centimeters. T: T: Since this is a cube with each edge measuring 1 centimeter, we call this a cubic centimeter. (Hold up a centimeter cube.) These cubes can serve as a unit to measure the volume of your solid, the amount of space it takes up. What do we call this unit? NOTES ON A cubic centimeter. MULTIPLE MEANS OF Just like we use squares to measure area in square REPRESENTATION: units, we use cubes to measure volume, in cubic units. If only 1-inch cubes are available, adapt (Write cubic unit and cubic centimeter on the board.) the lesson to work with 1-inch cubes. Try to obtain 1-inch grid paper from (Hold up 2 cubes.) How many cubes? the Internet, or create it on the 2 cubes. computer and print it for students to How many cubic centimeters? use. 2 cubic centimeters. (Hold up 4 cubes in a square formation.) What is the volume of these 4 units together? 4 cubic centimeters. Work with a partner. On your grid paper, build three different solids with a volume of 4 cubic centimeters

Give the students time to build the structures. Move on to do likewise with five and then six cubes as time allows. As you circulate, encourage students to use the words volume and cubic centimeters as you ask questions. Problem 3: Represent solids on isometric dot paper. T: T: We are going to build some other structures, but we want to draw what we build. Lets learn how to use our isometric dot paper to draw our structures. We will start by drawing 1 cube. (Demonstrate while directing the students in each step.)
Explain the process for drawing 1 cubic centimeter using the dot paper. Step 1: Connect four dots to make a rhombus. This will represent one square face of the cube, viewed

at an angle. Step 2: Draw three straight segments to the right from the two vertices on the top and the one on the bottom right. Step 3: Draw two segments to represent the missing edges.
T:
Now we will put two cubes next to each other. Connect four dots to make a rhombus. Add another rhombus that shares its right edge, just like your cubes. Draw four straight segments to the right from the three vertices on the top and the one on the bottom right. Draw three segments to represent the missing edges.
Explain the process for drawing 2 cubic centimeters. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4:
Allow students to practice several times. Then choose examples of several students work to show the class. T: With a partner, build a structure with no more than 10 cubes each. Then draw your partners structure on dot paper. Help each other figure out if it matches what you built.
Circulate and help students draw their figures. When they are comfortable with the process, move them to the Application Problem and Problem Set.

Note: This problem is intended to help students synthesize the parts they have learned in the lesson and build understanding toward subsequent lessons, where eventually they will learn the formula for volume of a rectangular prism.

For some classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which problems students should work on first. With this option, let the careful sequencing of the Problem Set guide your selections so that problems continue to be scaffolded. Balance word problems with other problem types to ensure a range of practice. Assign incomplete problems for homework or at another time during the day.
