5th Grade Volume Worksheets (1)

Welcome to our 5th Grade Volume Worksheets page.

Here you will find our collection of worksheets to introduce and help you learn about volume.

These worksheets will help you to understand and practice how to find the volume of rectangular prisms and other simple shapes.

Volume of Rectangular Prisms

On this webpage you will find our range of worksheets to help you work outthe volume of simple 3d shapes such as rectangular prisms.

They are also very useful for introducing the concept of volume being the number of cubes that fill up a space.

These sheets are graded from easiest to hardest, and each sheet comes complete with answers.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

  • learn how to find the volume of simple 3d shapes by counting cubes;
  • learn how to find the volume of rectangular prisms by multiplying length x width x height
  • practice using their knowledge to solve basic volume problems.

What is Volume?

  • Volume is the amount of space that is inside a 3 dimensional shape.
  • Because it is an amount of space, it has to be measured in cubes.
  • If the shape is measured in cm, then the volume would be measured in cubic cm or cm3
  • If the shape is measured in inches, then the volume would be measured in cubic inches or in3

Volume of a Rectangular Prism

5th Grade Volume Worksheets (2)

  • The volume of a rectangular prism is the number of cubes it is made from.
  • To find the number of cubes, we need to multiply the length by the width by the height.
  • So Volume = length x width x height or l x w x h.
  • We could also multiply the area of the base (which is the length x width) by the height.
  • So Volume = l x w x h or b x h (where b is the area of the base)

Example

In the example above, the length is 3, the width is 6 and the height is 2.

So the volume is 3 x 6 x 2 = 36cm3 or 36 cubic cm.

This tells us that there are 36 cm cubes that make up the shape.

5th Grade Volume Worksheets

We have split our worksheets up into different sections, to make it easier for you to select the right sheets for your needs.

  • Section 1 - Find the Volume by Counting Cubes
  • Section 2 - Finding the Volume by multiplication

FAQs

What is volume in math 5th grade worksheets? ›

The volume of a rectangular prism is the number of cubes it is made from. To find the number of cubes, we need to multiply the length by the width by the height. So Volume = length x width x height or l x w x h. We could also multiply the area of the base (which is the length x width) by the height.

What grade level is volume? ›

Fifth Grade

Students begin writing their own mathematical expressions to represent situations, both real and imagined. They can solve multi-digit problems in all four operations involving decimals and fractions. They are introduced to volume of objects, the coordinate plane, and properties of angles.

What is a volume worksheet? ›

Volume worksheets are provided with several visual simulations to promote a good understanding of the concept of volumes. The worksheets can start with questions based on simple figures such as cuboids and then proceed to difficult questions that involve word problems.

Is there a formula for volume? ›

Whereas the basic formula for the area of a rectangular shape is length × width, the basic formula for volume is length × width × height. How you refer to the different dimensions does not change the calculation: you may, for example, use 'depth' instead of 'height'.

What is volume Grade 5 explanation? ›

A volume is simply defined as the amount of space occupied by any three-dimensional solid. These solids can be a cube, a cuboid, a cone, a cylinder or a sphere. Different shapes have different volumes.

What is volume for dummies? ›

Volume refers to the amount of space the object takes up. In other words, volume is a measure of the size of an object, just like height and width are ways to describe size. If the object is hollow (in other words, empty), volume is the amount of water it can hold.

What grade do you learn volume in math? ›

In fifth grade math, your child will extend understanding of decimals and fractions, as well as exploring numerical expressions, volume, and graphs.

What grade level is V? ›

What is the hardest grade level? ›

The 10th Grade is a grade level in the education system typically undertaken by students around the age of 15-16. It is considered one of the more challenging and important grades as it serves as a transition year towards higher education and career preparation.

What math is taught in 5th grade? ›

In math for 5th graders, students will gain essential knowledge on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. Additionally, they will learn how to convert fractions to decimals and vice versa, which is an important skill for daily life.

What is volume answers? ›

Volume is defined as the space occupied within the boundaries of an object in three-dimensional space. It is also known as the capacity of the object.

What is the volume of a rectangular prism 5th grade? ›

To find the volume of a rectangular prism you can use the formula V = lwh, where / is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

What is volume in math notes? ›

The volume of a shape or solid is the space occupied by it, which also includes its height or depth. It is measured in cubic units. The area is the space occupied by the surface of a flat shape. It is measured in square units.

What is a volume in math for kids? ›

Volume is the amount of physical space a 3D object takes up. It is the 3D equivalent of area for a 2D shape. It is measured in cubic measurements, like cm³. This can be found by multiplying its length × height × width.

What are the three ways to find volume? ›

To illustrate the effects of precision on data, volumes will be determined by three different methods: geometrically (measuring lengths); water displacement; and pycnometry. The composition of a mixed brass-aluminum cylinder and the volume of empty space within a hollow cylinder will also be found.

How do you measure volume in Year 5? ›

To calculate the volume of a cuboid you must measure its length, its height and its width, before multiplying the individual values together (Length x Width x Height = Volume).
