triangles Practice Worksheet special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing
Area and Perimeter Exit Ticket into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and
other shapes; apply these techniques in the
context of solving real-world and mathematical
problems.

Volume Interactive notebook volume guide Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with
Volume practice with 3D objects fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit
cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge
lengths, and show that the volume is the same as
would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of
the prism. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b
h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with
fractional edge lengths in the context of solving
real-world and mathematical problems.
