Mathematical Standards

1.OA.A
Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. (1.OA.A.1, 1.OA.A.2)

Standards for Mathematical Practice

MP1.
Make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them.
MP2.
Reason quantitatively.
MP4.
Model with mathematics.
MP7.
Look for and make use of structure.

Students find the volume of cube structures by skip counting and writing number sentences showing repeated addition. They build cube models from 3-dimensional drawings and compare them. In the Adventure Book, Manuel has exciting adventures in a dream where animals are changed into cube creatures.

Content in this Lesson

  • Finding volume by skip counting and using repeated addition [E1].
  • Writing number sentences to represent volume [E2].
  • Connecting between different representations of shapes (3-dimensional drawings and cube models).
  • Recognizing that different shapes can have the same volume [E5].
  • Using geometric modeling to solve problems.
  • Using visualization and spatial reasoning skills to justify solutions [E6].

Materials Preparation

Build Some Models of Ruffy. If needed, build a few samples of the model of Ruffy on the Compare Ruffy and the Snake pages in the Student Activity Book. Have these available for students who need assistance with building the model from the drawings. Students can then focus on finding and comparing volumes.
