Finding Volume (Poem)

Finding Volume (Poem)   

      

I found a cube and wanted to know
"How could I measure it's volume?" And so...

I used my ruler to measure it right
I measured the  length, width and height

I multiplied length times width times height
Because that's the formula to get it right

You can multiply the formula in any order
Just remember volume is a gas, solid or liquid like water

A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume

The students had the opportunity to participate in the lesson by answering questions asked by the teacher and they also asked questions themselves. Then the students were instructed by the teacher to discuss how many vertices they saw and to discuss it with their partner. Afterwards, they went to their tables to work. The teacher handed out workbooks that included this subject. Some students struggled (3). These three were the students that usually required extra support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Small Group Instruction: I took them to a
