Volumeville: A Hands-on Project for Volume

This project is the perfect final assessment for your volume unit.  Volumeville will have your students out of their seats, working together, and showing their creativity to create a 3D city/village.   Volumeville has students tasked with creating a 3D community. They will be challenged to use nets to create both rectangular prisms as well as composite rectangular prisms to build their city.  They will have to calculate the volume of their community and there is even an opportunity for differentiation by providing students with a specific total volume that they have to create.  This is a great way to challenge students. In addition to building a 3D city, students will create a key in which they will illustrate each building from their city along with its length, width, height, and volume so that they can continue to display their knowledge of calculating volume. Printable and digital versions are included. Need Help teaching volume?  Check out my volume resource pack. Standards:  5.MD
