LESSON 7 Problem Solving with Volume

Volume of Boxes

Here are 12 cubic centimeters. A cubic centimeter is the volume of cube that is 1 centimeter long on each side.
These 12 cubic centimeters can be put together face-to-face to make several different shapes.
Each of the shapes above has a volume of 12 cubic centimeters. This is sometimes written 12 cm3. You can think of volume as the space in an object.
  1. Use 12 cubes to make two more shapes with a volume of 12 cm3.
