I recently collected a series of our favorite lessons for fifth graders on the topic of volume into one tidy booklet. I like these lessons a lot. They start with tangible activities involving squares and cubes, and build up from concrete to abstract until students are able to use an understanding of volume to solve truly complex problems.

I’d love some feedback, especially from 5th grade teachers. The lessons are available here.

In another experiment, the booklet of volume lessons is available by donation. This will hopefully allow everyone who wants it to get it for free, and for us to keep track of how many times it’s downloaded. At the same time, if people want to chip in for them, now there’s a way.
