Using linking cubes, Mrs. Tipton’s class built their own rectangular prisms and found each structure’s volume. Next, they combined their structures to see if and how volume changes. This hands-on activity allowed the students to better understand how to find the volume of combined prisms with drawings and given measurements.

Students smile at their desks in a classroom with whiteboards and colorful chairs in the background.
