Use a puzzle after teaching the volume formula and have students explain how a known volume can help them find a missing dimension. For print, cut out the included number tiles or use a set you already have. In Google Slides, students move the tiles in edit mode.

Great opportunity to ready & respond
The passages were relevant and well written. They gave my students great opportunities to read, engage, and respond.
Great resource and helpful time saver! I enjoyed this product!

Well done activity
I am planning on working on the first word root BIO with my students and having the students talk about which work samples are strong and weak. They should be be prepared to do strong work when we do these again. I can pull them out for a substitute or when we just need a quiet independent lesson.
Love All Things Created
Everything is organized in a way that makes it easy to use, and it has saved me a great deal of planning time. I truly appreciate the thought and effort that went into creating such a high-quality resource. Thank you!
Digital kids that need help visualizing!!!
This year was eye-opening when I started teaching volume. I realized that this group of 5th graders were iPad kids!! Rarely playing with blocks/Legos in their early childhood development years. So sad! They really could not “see” that these were 3 dimensional shapes until I had them build with blocks and use these sketch notes! Wild!!

Hello, I am a fan of your tile products and have purchased 4 versions. When I try to print the Volume version, which is listed as a hands-on activity, it is prompting me that it is a paperless version and won't print. And then prompts me to purchase the PDF version for another $8.99. Hopefully you can help me with this?
Hello, Erin. The PDF included is a printable version. Have you downloaded the latest resource under your purchases? Please feel free to email me at info@teacherthrive.com for more help.
