Let us try to see if you can still
recall our previous lesson. May I
call in our Anchor Timothy Sean
M. Rio for the 1 minute review of
what had transpired yesterday.
Thank you so much Tim.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Motivation
Class, what is this object?
(Showing the object to the class)
Do you know how to play it?
Anchor: Good afternoon Tabugon
Elementary School. Reporting live
from the Grade Six room, let us try
to ask the Grade VI class about
their lesson yesterday.
Anchor: Apple Joy, can you give
us some details about our lesson
yesterday?
Apple Joy: We have learned how
to derive the formula for the
volume of solid figures.
Anchor: Well, let’s try to ask others
if they can remember the formula
of some solid figures.
Anchor: JM, what is the formula
for the volume of a cube?
JM: The formula for the volume of
a cube is V = s3.
Anchor: What about you Kayla,
what is the formula for the volume
of a rectangular prism?
Kayla: The formula for the volume
of a rectangular prism is:
V=LxWxH
Anchor: That wraps up our 1
minute review of yesterday’s
lesson. This is Timothy Sean M.
Rio, reporting and signing off.
Back to you Sir.
That is a Rubik’s Cube Sir.
Yes, we do Sir.
 How do we play it? In playing a Rubik’s Cube, we
have to arrange or put together in
one side those with the same color
Very good! or design.

What solid figure makes up our It is made up of small cubes.

Rubik’s cube?

Excellent!

Try to make a guess. How many (The pupils will estimate their
small cubes does this Rubik’s answer: 24, 27, 30)
Cube have?

2. Presenting the Lesson

We will be dealing today class on

finding the volume of a
rectangular prism. At the end of
our lesson, I expect that all of you
should be able to master how to
find the volume of a rectangular
prism.

In connection to that, you will be

doing a group activity. You will be
grouped according to the figures
on your nametags. You may now
go and sit with your group. Yes, Sir!
Choose a leader and a reporter.

I will be distributing a container

and an activity sheet for each
group. Try to follow the
instructions in your activity
sheets.
We will cooperate.
But before you do the activity, let We will do our work quietly.

you do during the activity?

work on the activity. You may supervision of the teacher.
start now.
You now have utilized the 5
minutes given to you and I expect
that each group was able to finish
the task assigned to them. Are
you ready to present your work to
the class?
Let us now listen to Group 1.
Very good Group 1. Let us give
them a “nice” clap.
Let us also hear the report of
Group 2.
Good job Group 2. They deserve
a “Ang galing-galing” clap.
I think Group 3 is also ready to
present their work.
Brilliant Group 3!
Let us give them a “boom” clap
Yes, we are Sir!
We were given a container with
the shape of a rectangular prism
together with several small cubes.
We put the small cubes inside the
container and 24 cubes fit it
exactly. So, the volume of the box
is 24 cubic units.
We were also given a rectangular
prism container. We were
instructed to count how many
cubes will cover the length, the
width and the height of the
container.
Length = 4 cubes
Width = 2 cubes
Height = 3 cubes
If we multiply them together
V=LxWxH
V = 4 cubes x 2 cubes x 3 cubes
V = 24 cubic units
We were given an illustration of a
rectangular prism with the
following dimensions.
L = 4 cm W = 2 cm H = 3 cm
We solved for the volume using
the formula:
V=LxWxH
V = 4 cm x 2 cm x 3 cm
V = 24 cm3
b. Processing the Activities

This time we will explore further

about the activity that you have
done.

That’s right.
What is a rectangular prism? It is a solid figure that has 2
parallel rectangular bases.

What is the difference between a A cube has six equal faces while a
cube and a rectangular prism? rectangular prims has rectangular

How many cubes filled the length 4 cubes

Some more observations? They also counted how many

cubes will fill the width of the

What have they discovered? They discovered that 2 cubes will
fit the width of the prism.

What more have they done? The number of cubes that will fill

From that, what have they They were able to determine that

After determining the number of They multiplied the number of

For Group 3, what have they They used the formula

What have you noticed with the We arrived to the same answer

In other words, what is volume? Volume is the number of cubic

units needed to fill a space figure.

What is the unit used in Volume is expressed in cubic

expressing volume? units.

This time, we will have

another activity on finding the
volume of a rectangular prism.
You will have the same
groupings.
Pupils will work on their activity.
Please follow the instructions
stated on the activity sheets
given to your group. You have
5 minutes to work on it and be
reminded also of our

3. Generalization

Let us now summarize the

lesson that we just had.

What is a rectangular prism? A rectangular prism is a solid figure that

has 2 parallel rectangular bases.

What is volume? Volume is the number of cubic units

needed to fill a solid figure.

How do we find the volume of a To find the volume of a rectangular

rectangular prism? prism, we use the formula:
V=LxWxH

What is the unit used in finding Volume is expressed in cubic units.

the volume of a rectangular
prism?

4. Finding Practical Applications

of Concepts and Skills in Daily
Living

Is finding the volume of a Yes it is, Sir.

rectangular prism important to our
daily living?

In what instances in our daily
living can we apply our
knowledge in finding the volume
of a rectangular prism? Why is it
important to us?
Just like our lunch box, if we have
knowledge in finding the volume of
a rectangular prism, we will be
able to know the quantity of food
we can put inside it.
 In our classroom, when we know
how to find the volume, we will be
able to know the volume of the
water basin that we used to fill
every morning.

Since there is a fish pond just in

front of our school, if we
understand the concept of finding
the volume of a rectangular prism,
we will be able to know the water
that the pond contains if we are
aware of its length, width and
height.

To whom is knowledge of finding To every one of us who lives in

the volume of a rectangular prism this community.
important?

Very good class!
