Layers Upon Layers

Module 2, Lesson 7: Developing the Idea of Volume
Extra Help


Partner A builds a base for a prism. (You might consider limiting the number of cubes students can use for their base.) Partner B arranges more blocks on the base to figure out the number of cubes in 5 layers. By using the "Layers Upon Layers" recording sheet, students will gain familiarity with one of the SBA Item Stems for this standard. Students alternate roles as they continue building prisms.


To differentiate this activity, students can roll a cube to determine the number of layers to build on their partner's base.
