VOLUME MEASUREMENTS
Volume is the amount of space used by an object. The base unit of volume in the SI system is the liter. There are 1000 liters per cubic meter, or 1 liter contains the same volume as a cube with sides of length 10cm. A cube with sides of length of 1 cm or 1 cm3 contains a volume of 1 milliliter. A liter contains the same volume as 1000 ml or 1000 cm3.

Volume and Measurement
Ha, now we got volume and measurements
Some people can be hesitant, but once you break it down I
promise you will excel in this
This is something simple, but you gotta pay attention
We’re talking about volume another word for dimension
Some call it 3 cube some call it a cubic inch
It’s the height times the width and we can’t forget the length so
When you have a cube multiply those 3 sides
And you will see the volume is really easy to find
Let me mention, I hope you pay attention
Cause we use fluid ounces to find the volume of liquids
It takes 8 ounces to make 1 cup
And if you want a pint then you gone need 2 cups
That’s 16 ounces or a half of a quart
That’s 4 cups or 2 pints will make a whole quart
That’s 32 ounces and we can keep counting
Cause 128 ounces make a whole gallon ah
There you have it volume measured at its finest
You can do full conversions no matter the assignment
And you can get the volume if you do the work to find it
Look (look) you got it you just gotta keep grinding
Standards
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.MD.A.2 — Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.MD.A.1 — Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.GMD.A.3 — Use volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.GMD.A.2 — (+) Give an informal argument using Cavalieri's principle for the formulas for the volume of a sphere and other solid figures.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.2 — Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ? 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.1 — Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.GMD.A.1 — Give an informal argument for the formulas for the circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone. Use dissection arguments, Cavalieri's principle, and informal limit arguments.
