5th Grade Math Review: Day 10

In yesterday's post we reviewed equations for volume, area, and perimeter. If you weren't able to catch the live stream with the answers, you can watch it here. Today we continue with volume, this time simply calculating it, and look at classifying 2-D shapes. These standards continue Reporting Category 3 - Geometry and Measurement.

Volume

Since this is a new concept for 5th graders, the standards separate it into understanding the equation for volume, which was covered yesterday, and simply calculating it. Watch the video below to learn more.

Here's another opportunity to practice your measurement skills. Try to solve this problem from a released STAAR test.

Classifying 2-D Shapes

Students have been classifying shapes for several years before entering 5th grade. Last year, 4th graders learned to sort shapes by the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines or even types of angles. This year, 5th graders need to be able to sort shapes into hierarchies based on attributes.

Now try answering these two sample problems with your knowledge of 2-D shape classification.
