Using a calculator, apply the formula to find the volume of three-dimensional shapes (i.e., cubes, spheres and cylinders).

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify attributes (length, width, height, diameter, radius, circumference) of a three-dimensional shape.
  • Using appropriate tools, multiply whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
  • Identify the formulas for cones, spheres and cylinders using appropriate tools.
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: volume, cylinder, cone, height, length, width, diameter, radius, circumference, cube, sphere, side, and pi.
  • Recognize that the volume of three-dimensional shapes can be found by finding the area of the base and multiplying that by the height.
  • Understand the parts of the formulas for cones, spheres, and cylinders.
  • Apply the formulas for cones, spheres, and cylinders using appropriate tools.

Number: MAFS.8.G.3.AP.9a Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres. (Additional Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
