Students will be able to:

• Recall: Define the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism (length x width x height).
• Understand: Explain the relationship between length, width, height, and volume in rectangular prisms. Differentiate between volume and other measurements (area, perimeter).
• Apply: Calculate the volume of rectangular prisms given their length, width, and height in various units (cm, m, inches, feet). Solve word problems involving the volume of rectangular prisms in real-world contexts (e.g., finding the volume of a shipping box, a fish tank, or a room).
• Analyze: Compare and contrast the volumes of different rectangular prisms. Identify and explain errors in volume calculations. Determine the dimensions of a rectangular prism given its volume and two of its dimensions.
• Evaluate: Assess the reasonableness of calculated volumes in real-world scenarios. Critique different methods for calculating volume. Justify the choice of units used in volume calculations.
• Create: Design a rectangular prism with a specific volume, given constraints on its dimensions. Develop a problem involving the volume of a rectangular prism and its solution. Construct a model of a rectangular prism and calculate its volume.
