Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics V

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the pupils should be able to:
1. Derive a formula for findings the volume of rectangular prism
2. Find a volume of rectangular prism
3. Write solution in finding volumes of rectangular prisms correctly
4. Work cooperatively to achieve best result

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Topic: Volume of Rectangular Prisms
Skills: Finding volume of rectangular prisms
References:
Materials: transparent rectangular containers, small cubes, Rubik’s cube, worksheets, pictures
of plane figures, paper, ball pen
Value: Cooperation

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Opening Songs
2. Mental Computation Drill:
Solving For Areas of Plane Figures

“Now class before we proceed to our lesson,

were going to have a group activity. I’ll divide you
into to four groups.”

“I will show some pictures of a plane figure with a

given dimensions. You will choose to your group
mates who will be the first student will solve
mentally for the area and write your answer on
the activity sheet that I give to you with the
proper label. Then I will show another picture of
a plane figure with given dimensions again and
again until everyone in the group or column has
participated“. “The groups who give with the
correct answers and label gets 2pts” “Did you
understand grade five?”

6dm

10cm 5dm

10dm

6dm 8cm

20cm

a. Setting the Standard in Group Activity

“Before we start, what are the standards or rules

to follow in conducting a group activity?”
Cooperate to your group mates.
Do not do anything not related to the activity.
 Try your best to give an answer or an idea.
Be responsible
Very good! So, you should follow those
standards!

b. Group Activity

c. Checking of Group

3. Review : Formulas in solving for the

Areas of the following: Square,
Rectangle, Parallelogram, Trapezoid
and Triangle
“I have here some picture of shapes with a given
dimensions, you will tell to me what is the area of
each?”

“Do you understand class?”

Square

Triangle

Parallelogram

Rectangle

Trapezoid

4. Motivation

“What do you call this object?”

“That’s right! It is a Rubik’s cube. A Rubik’s cube
is 3 x 3 x 3 cube that can be manipulated so that
each face of cube will have the same design.”

“Do you know how to play it? How?”

“How many small cubes does this Rubik’s cube

have?

B. Development Activities

1. Presentation

The number of small cubes that make up Rubik’s

cube is 24

Now class I have here a container.

What kind of solid figure is the container?

Now I will put a cube. How many did I put inside

the rectangular container?

( the teacher fill the container with a small cubes

until its upper portion)

How can you find the number of cubes in the

container without counting them all?

How many cubes in all?

When we get the total number of cubes that the

container has, what have we looked for?

Very good!
What kind of polygon is the base of the
container?

What is its dimension?

How many cubes fit the length? The width?

Can you give the volume of the rectangular prism

by just using the dimensions (length, width,
height? How?

What is the formula in finding the volume of

rectangular prism?

What unit of measurement will you use?

When you multiply the length and the width,
what does it represent?

So if the area of the base and the height are

given, how will you right the formula for the
volume of rectangular prism?

Class the area of the base can be written as B in

symbols.

Did you understand grade five?

What are the two formulas in finding the

rectangular prism?

2. Fixing Skills

Let us do this in pairs.

 Count the cubic units to find the volume
of each.

 Find each missing number?

A B C D

3. Generalization

How do you solve for the volume of rectangular

prism? What is the formula used?
by multiplying length x width x height
V=lwh
V=Bh
Very good!

C. Application

Draw the indicate figure and solve the problem.

1. A Sewing box is 12 cm by 9 cm by 6 cm. what is

its volume?
2. How many cubic meters of soil has to be
removed for the for the foundations of a building
52 m long and 35 m wide if the hole is to be 1.5
m deep?
 3. How many jewelry boxes 10 cm by 6 cm by 4
cm can be packed into a box 50dm long, 4 dm
wide and 3 dm high?

III. Evaluation

A. Complete the table. Find the volume

of the following.
Length Width Height Volume
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

B. Read and analyze and solve.

1. The volume of a cube is 343 cm3. What is the

length of the edge?
2. A wooden block below has a volume of
600cm3. Bert sawed 2 pieces of wood out of the
block. Find the volume of the block that was left.

IV. Assignment
