Activity Description
In this worksheet, students will engage in solving real-world problems that require them to calculate the volume of various objects using given dimensions. Each problem is designed to help students apply their knowledge of volume calculations in practical scenarios, such as determining the capacity of a shipping box or the volume of a fish tank. The dimensions provided for each problem will be unique to each student, ensuring personalized practice and fostering independent learning.
Students will encounter scenarios such as:
- Example 1: "A shipping box has a length of 14 inches, a width of 13 inches, and a height of 17 inches. What is the capacity of the box in cubic inches?"
- Example 2: "A fish tank has a length of 27 inches, a width of 15 inches, and a height of 10 inches. How many cubic inches of water can the fish tank hold?"
Unique Dimensions for Each Student: To ensure that students work independently, each student will receive a different set of dimensions for the problems. This approach promotes individual learning and reduces the likelihood of copying answers.

Common Core: MATH
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas *V = l w h* and *V = b h* to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
