Volume and Cubic Units Exit Slip

5.MD.3.a

“A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume.”

Question 1's first blank states that a unit cube has exactly one cubic unit of volume.

5.MD.3.b

“A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.”

The second blank in question 1 gives the n-cubes definition, and question 4 tests it by attacking Marcus's gap-filled packing.

5.MD.4

“Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.”

Questions 2 and 3 measure volume by counting unit cubes in the two diagrams, in cubic centimeters and generic cubic units.
