Pair These Activities With Our Volume of Complex Figures Worksheet
Looking for some hands-on activity ideas to accompany our volume of complex figures worksheet? Check out the ideas below!
- Build and Measure Composite Structures – Provide students with building materials like building bricks, linking cubes, or wooden blocks. Challenge them to construct composite figures by combining rectangular prisms and then to find the volume of their creations.
- Volume Hunt – Label different composite objects or containers around the classroom, like boxes, storage bins or even multi-tiered shelves. Students move around the room to each number, measuring the figures, calculating the volume, and writing their answers on a recording sheet.
- STEM Engineering Challenge – Ask students to design a small storage unit made up of varied rectangular sections, calculating the volume of each part and the total storage capacity of the unit.
With these three activities and our volume of composite shapes worksheet, your students will be well-equipped to tackle any real-world scenarios that come their way!
