5th Grade Volume
Volume is the amount of space enclosed by an object or shape, how much
3-dimensional space (length, height, and width) it occupies. A flat shape like triangle, square and rectangle occupies surface on the plane. When we draw a flat shape on a paper, it occupies a certain area of paper. Solid shapes like cube, cuboid and cylinder occupy space. The amount of space occupied by a solid is called its volume.
Solid shape has length, breadth and height.
Plane figures like triangle, quadrilaterals and circles do
not occupy any space because they lie on a plane. But solid figures like those
given below do occupy space.
Every object that occupies space has a volume.
What is volume?
The space occupied by any object is called the volume.
So, the volume of an object is the amount of space occupied by the object.
Volume is measured in "cubic units".
Surface like the page of your book, black board, are called plane surfaces. They do not have any volume but have only area.
A cube is a solid whose length, breadth and height are equal. Therefore, a cube, is taken as the unit of solid to measure the amount of space that a solid occupies.
Consider a cube whose length, breadth and height are 1 cm. The volume of this cube is 1 cubic centimetre. It is written as cu cm or. cc. We call a cube with 1 cc volume a unit cube. We always measure volume in cubic units.
1 cc = 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm
For measuring the volume of a solid, we count the number of unit cubes contained by the solid.
Let us see how many cubes are there in the following cuboids.
The cuboid in figure (i) is formed by placing 4 cubes in a row. So, the volume of the cuboids is 4 cu cm.
The cuboid in figure (ii) is formed by 8 cubes. So, the volume of the cuboids is 8 cu cm or 8 cc. The cuboid formed in figure 2 has a length of 4 cm, breadth 1 cm and height 2 cm.
Therefore, the volume of the cuboid = length × breadth × height
= 2 × 1 × 2
= 8 cu cm.

We will practice the questions given in the worksheet on volume of a cube and cuboid. We know the volume of an object is the amount of space occupied by the object.1. Fill in the blanks:
Cuboid is a solid box whose every surface is a rectangle of same area or different areas. A cuboid will have a length, breadth and height. Hence we can conclude that volume is 3 dimensional. To measure the volumes we need to know the measure 3 sides.
A cube is a solid box whose every surface is a square of same area. Take an empty box with open top in the shape of a cube whose each edge is 2 cm. Now fit cubes of edges 1 cm in it. From the figure it is clear that 8 such cubes will fit in it. So the volume of the box will
Time duration tells us how long it takes for an activity to complete. We will learn how to calculate the time duration in minutes and in hours. Time Duration (in minutes) Ron and Clara play badminton every evening. Yesterday, their game started at 5 : 15 p.m.
The clock has numbers from 1 to 12 marked on its dial. These numbers divide the clock face into 12 equal parts. Between any two numbers there are 5 small divisions. Each small division represents a minute. So, the minute hand takes 5 minutes more from one number to the next
There are 12 months in a year. The months are January, February, march, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. The year begins with the January month. December is the last month of the year. A year has 365 days.
We know that the measurement of time is read by a clock or a watch. Any clock or watch except a digital watch, has a dial. On the circular border of the dial of a watch or clock there are the
In worksheet on interpreting a calendar, all grade students can practice the questions on calendar. This exercise sheet on interpreting a calendar can be practiced by the students to get more ideas to find the leap year. 1. How many months are there having (i) 31 days
We will discuss here about the conversion of hours into minutes. We know 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes which is required to convert the measuring time from hours to minutes.
In reading and interpreting a calendar we need to know days in a week, days in a month and months in a year. There are 7 days in a week. The first day of the week is Sunday.
We will learn about the use of antemeridian and postmeridian. In English system the day starts at midnight and ends at the next midnight. The day begins just after 12 o’clock at midnight.
Teaching time is an interactive activity for telling time. This activity helps students to learn how to read the clock to tell time using the analogue clock. While reading or observing the time on a
