Lesson

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism using its side lengths.

Standards

5.MD.C.5

Lesson

Represent volume using expressions related to the formulas $$V = b \times h $$ and $$V = l \times w \times h$$. Use these formulas to find the volume of pictorial rectangular prisms.

Topic B: Classification of Two-Dimensional Shapes

Lesson

Classify shapes as polygons versus non-polygons and classify polygons according to their number of sides.

Standards

5.G.B.35.G.B.4

Lesson

Classify quadrilaterals based on the presence or absence of one pair of parallel sides. Define trapezoids as quadrilaterals with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Standards

5.G.B.35.G.B.4

Lesson

Classify trapezoids based on the presence of one or two sets of parallel sides. Define parallelograms as trapezoids with two sets of parallel sides.

Standards

5.G.B.35.G.B.4

Lesson

Classify parallelograms based on the presence or absence of right angles or based on the presence or absence of sides of equal length. Define rectangles as parallelograms with four right angles and rhombuses as parallelograms with four equal sides.

Standards

5.G.B.35.G.B.4

Lesson

Classify rectangles based on the presence or absence of sides of equal length, and classify rhombuses based on the presence or absence of right angles. Define squares as quadrilaterals with sides of equal length and all right angles.

Standards
