Topic: Volume-Counting Cubes
Objective: Calculate the volume of solid shapes by
counting how many 1 cm³ cubes fit inside the shape
Success Criteria: Values – Global Understanding
Achieved: Count all visible and hidden cubes
accurately in a solid shape. (Question 1-4)
Mastered: Explain how I found the volume in words or
by showing my steps. (Question 5-7)
