BIG IDEA:
The space inside a solid is its volume. By finding the area of a layer that covers
the base (B) and multiplying by the number of layers (h), one determines what it
takes to fill the solid.
Lesson Three: Filling Boxes
Day
3
Investigation Filling Boxes .................................................................. 25
By filling a box with cubes a layer at a time, students recognize the
volume as a measure of filling and the relationship of volume to
cubes in a layer and number of layers.
Animation Boxes, Bases, and Blocks .................................................... 27
Seeing a rectangular solid built by row and layer provides a visual
memory of the meaning and formula for finding the volume of a
rectangular solid.
Day
4
Comics Filling Boxes ................................................................................ 28
Emphasizes that volume is a measure filling and is reported in cubic
units. It also helps students understand the formula for finding the
volume of a rectangular-based prism.
Practice: Box Building and Filling .................................................................. 30
Provides an opportunity for students to apply their understanding of
calculating surface area and volume to larger nets and solids.
Lesson Four: Special Box Building
Day

A SOLID
SOLIDReview
How can you use the similarities and differences of the geometric solids to identify each type?
Comparing and contrasting the different solids requires repeated examination, thereby providing a
review of the names of the solids and a more extensive definition of each one. To measure surface area
and volume of the solids, students will need to know the numbers and shapes of faces/surfaces along
with how the solids are formed from nets.
For
demonstration
purposes, Build the
six solids from card
stock. These models can
be used in all the
investigations.

of faces and
their shapes.
in our
activity, we looked
to see which ones have
only flat faces and
which ones have a
curved surface.
Class, yesterday
we reviewed the names
of six different solids
and we tried to describe
each of them.

mean in geometry?
THINGS TO LOOK FOR:
A Solid Review
MEASUREMENT OF PRISMS, PYRAMIDS, CYLINDERS, AND CONES
I think
they use it in
football.
I’ve
heard of
the word
lateral.
those are the
lateral faces.
the other three
faces are
rectangles
around the sides
of the prism.
The bases are the
triangles at the
top and bottom.
Look at the prism
that’s pictured
here.
All of the
other faces of a
prism are rectangles
and are called
lateral faces.
Does that
make sense,
redmond?
Lateral??
what does
that mean?
I bet you
didn’t know
that, mark.
Sure, I
knew that.
I know
everything.
Yeah, I
think it
does.
Well, the
word lateral
means to the side
or off to the
side.
So if the base
is a triangle, it’s a
triangular prism, if
it’s a square it’s a
square-based
prism, and so on.
The shape
of the base of
a prism gives
it its name.
Yep, the
quarterback in
football sometimes

called a
lateral
pass.
Two of the faces are always congruent and
parallel. They can be squares or rectangles
or triangles or pentagons or any other
polygon shape. these two opposite faces are
called bases of the prism.

LATERAL
FACES
I thought the
point was always
kind of right over
the middle of the
base?
But the other
faces on a pyramid
all have to be
triangles,
right?
Thank
you, vanessa.
that’s exactly
right.
You’re right.
most of the pyramids
you’ve seen before
these were like that.
but, it’s okay for the
point to be off to the
side like it is on that
one.
And, if it’s a
pyramid, the lateral
faces are triangles
and if it’s a prism,
they’re rectangles.
So, the
lateral faces are
around the sides
no matter what the
3-dimensional
shape.
That’s
right,
shuttle.
Class, these two
3-Dimensional
shapes are pyramids.
How is a pyramid
different
from a prism?
Finally, class,
let’s talk about
the cylinder and
the cone.
Ms. Cho, I didn’t
know that the top
point on a pyramid
could be off to
one side like
that.
I get it. the
lateral faces of a
pyramid all meet at
one point, so they have
to be triangles.
Wow, red,
nice.
are those other
triangle faces of
the pyramid called
lateral faces,
too?
it’s different
because the pyramid
just has one base.
(see? everything.)
Think about the
number of bases
in a prism and in a
pyramid.
Yes, they
are. that’s a very
good question,
elora.
it’s also kind of like
a prism, because the
base of a pyramid can
be a triangle, or a
square, or some
other shape like
that.
3
The cylinder
has two bases
just like the prism
and the cone has
only one base just
like the pyramid.
I know!
You’re right,
redmond, but they
are a lot alike.
that’s all shuttle
and vanessa have
been trying to say.
Yeah, I guess they
are a lot alike.
Oh, and so are the
pyramid and the
cone, right?
ms. cho,
isn’t a cylinder
really just like a
prism that has
bases that are
circles?
That’s just
like how on the
pyramid the lateral
faces all come to
a point at the
top.
That means
that a cylinder
has two bases
that are
circles, and
one curved
lateral
surface.
Let’s see if I can answer Elora’s
question. How about instead of
calling it a lateral face, let’s
call it a curved lateral
surface.
How are the
cylinders and the
cone similar to the
prism and the
pyramid?
Or, you could say
that a prism is like a
cylinder that has
bases that are
triangles or
squares or some
other shape.
The cone is just
like it, except it
has only one
circular base.
What??? what are
you saying? isn’t a
cylinder a cylinder
and a prism a
prism.
on the cone, the
curved lateral
surface comes
to a point at
the top.
Class, this
is a good start.
we’re going to be
doing a lot more
with these
shapes.
That’s right,
redmond.
The face is
just one piece
and it curves
around the base,
right?
Ms. Cho,
it looks like
the cylinder and
the cone each just
have one lateral
face.
