About this worksheet

Volume is the amount of space inside a solid, and it is measured by counting the unit cubes that fill it. A box that is 5 units long, 4 units wide and 3 units high holds 4 rows of 5 cubes in each of 3 layers, so its volume is 5 × 4 × 3 = 60 cubic units.

On this fifth grade sheet a child reads the length, width and height of ten boxes and writes how many unit cubes fill each one. The formula is printed at the top. Each version has different boxes, and the answer key gives every volume.

What your child will learn

Count the cubes in one layer
Multiply by the number of layers
Use volume = length × width × height
Write volume in cubic units

Common Core standard: 5.MD.C.5

Worked example

A box 5 units long, 4 units wide and 3 units high: 5 × 4 = 20 cubes in a layer, and 20 × 3 = 60 cubes in all.

Common mistake

Adding the three measures (5 + 4 + 3) instead of multiplying them.

Helpful hint

Multiply the length by the width to find one layer, then multiply by the height.
