Have students work through the firstproblem on their own and then discuss.
Which method for determining the volume did you choose?
Answers will vary. Sample response: I chose to use the 𝑉 = 𝑙 𝑤 ℎ formula to solve.
Why did you choose this method?
Explanations with vary according to the method chosen. Sample response: Because I know the length,
width, and height of the prism, I used 𝑉 = 𝑙 𝑤 ℎ instead of the other examples.

Scaffolding:
Providea visual of a cubefor
students to label. If needed,
begin with less complex
numbers for the edge lengths.

What makes this problem different than the firstexample?
This example gives the area of the base instead of just giving the length and width.
Would it be possibleto use another method or formula to determine the volume of the prismin this example?
I could try fitting cubes with fractional lengths. However, I could not use the 𝑉 = 𝑙 𝑤 ℎ formula
because I do not know the length and width of the base.
Exercises1–5 (27 minutes)
In the exercises,students will explorehow changes in the lengths of the sides affectthe volume. Students can use any
method to determine the volume as longas they can explain their solution. Students work in pairs or small groups.
(Pleasenote that the relationshipsbetween the volumes will be more easily determined if the fractions are left in their
original formwhen solving. If time allows,this could bean interestingdiscussion pointeither between partners,groups,
or as a whole class when discussingthe results of their work.)
Exercises 1–5
1. Use the rectangular prism toanswer thenextset ofquestions.
a. Determinethe volumeofthe prism.

Scaffolding:
The wording half as long
may confuse some
students. Explain that half
as longmeans that the
original length was
multiplied by one half. A
similar explanation can be
used for one third as long
and one fourth as long.
Explain to students that
the word doubled refers to
twice as many or
multiplied by two.

Closing(2 minutes)
How did you determine which method to use when solvingtheexercises?
If I were given the length, width, and height, I have many options for determining the volume. I could
use 𝑉 = 𝑙 𝑤 ℎ. I could also determine the area of the base first and then use 𝑉 = Area of the base ×
height. I could also use a unit cube and determine how many cubes would fit inside.
If I was given the area of the base and the height, I could use the formula 𝑉 = Area of the base ×
height, or I could also use a unit cube and determine how many cubes would fit inside.
What relationships did you noticebetween the volume and changes in the length, width, or height?
Answers will vary. Students may mention that if the length, width, or height is changed by a certain
factor, the volume will be affected by that same factor.
They may also mention that if all three dimensions are changed by the same factor, the volume will
change by that factor cubed. For example, if all the sides are
1
2
as long as the original, the volume will
be (
1
2
)
3
as large as the original.

𝟑𝟔is threetimes as much as 𝟏𝟐. Therefore, when thelength is threetimes as long, thevolumeis also three
times as much.
d. What conclusion can you make about therelationship between the volumeand the length?
When only thelength is changed, and thewidth and height stay thesame, thechangein thevolumeis

Fluency work such as this exerciseshould take5–12 minutes of class.
How to Conduct a White Board Exchange:
All students will need a personal white board, white board marker, and a means of erasingtheir work. An economical
recommendation is to placecard stock insidesheet protectors to use as the personal whiteboards and to cut sheets of
felt into small squaresto use as erasers.
It is bestto prepare the problems in a way that allows you to reveal them to the class oneat a time. For example, use a
flip chartor PowerPoint presentation; write the problems on the board and cover with paper beforehand, allowingyou
to reveal one at a time; or, write only one problem on the board at a time. If the number of digits in the problem is very
low (e.g., 12 divided by 3), it may also beappropriateto verbally call outthe problem to the students.

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM 6•5Lesson 13
The teacher reveals or says the firstproblem in the listand announces,“Go.” Students work the problem on their
personal white boards,holdingtheir answers up for the teacher to see as soon as they have them ready. The teacher
gives immediate feedback to each student, pointingand/or makingeye contactwith the student and respondingwith an
affirmation for correctwork such as,“Good job!”, “Yes!”, or “Correct!” For incorrectwork, respond with guidancesuch
as “Look again!”,“Try again!”, or “Check your work!”
If many students have struggled to get the answer correct, go through the solution of that problem as a class before
moving on to the next problem in the sequence. Fluency in the skill has been established when the class isableto go
through each problem in quick succession withoutpausingto go through the solution of each problem individually. If
only one or two students have not been ableto get a given problem correct when the rest of the students are finished,it
is appropriateto move the classforward to the next problem without further delay; in this case,find a time to provide
remediation to that student before the next fluency exerciseon this skill is given.
