Middle School: Volume
In grades 6-8, students explore the relations among similar objects,
solving problems that link length, perimeter, area, and volume.
To do so, students learn to calculate the volume of a variety
of objects.
Problems that allow middle-school students to practice finding the
volume of three-dimensional objects are listed below. They address the
NCTM Geometry
Standard for Grades 6-8 expectation that students will be able to
analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional
geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric
relationships.
For background information elsewhere on our site, explore the Middle
School Geometry area
of the Ask Dr. Math archives. For relevant sites on the Web, browse
and search Higher-Dimensional
Geometry in our Internet Mathematics Library; to find middle-school
sites, go to the bottom of the page, set the searcher for middle school
(6-8), and press the Search button.
