Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use unit cubes to fill a rectangular prism.
- Count to determine how many unit cubes are in one row of a layer.
- Count to determine how many unit cubes are in one column of a layer.
- Use multiplication or repeated addition to determine the total number of unit cubes in one layer (area of the base or B).
- Understand the following vocabulary and concepts: row, column, layer, unit cubes, solid figure, rectangular prism, and volume.
- Use a visual representation to determine how many unit cubes are in one row of a layer.

Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition. (Major 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.
