B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation
Rhea has an empty cereal box. It has a
length of 15 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a
height of 10 cm. If she will store rice in
it, how many cubic centimeters of rice
will it contain?

What does Rhea have? An empty cereal box.

What is its length? Its length is 15 cm.
How about its width? Its width is 4 cm.
What about its height? 10 cm.
What is asked in the problem? The problem is how many cubic
centimeters of rice will an empty cereal
box contain.

Do you know how to solve the problem? No teacher.

And that is our topic for today. It is all

about finding the Volume of a
Rectangular Prism.

Show a short clip determining the

volume of the prism.

2. Discussion
After viewing, ask the following
questions to the pupils.

1. What is the video presentation

all about?
2. What are the three dimensions
of rectangular prism?
It is about finding the volume of
rectangular prism.
The three dimensions of rectangular
prism are the length, width and height

3. What formula can we use to find

the number of cubic units or to The formula in finding the volume of
rectangular prism is V = l x w x h
find the volume of rectangular
prism?
 4. Why is it 𝑐𝑚3? Teacher because we are multiplying
three dimensions.
That’s right. We have 1 unit for length, 1
unit for width and 1 unit for height.

Going back to the first problem, how

many cubic centimeters of rice will an One pupil will solve the problem.
empty box of cereal contain? Who
would like to solve in the board?

Before proceeding to our activity, let us

answer another problem.
Yes teacher.

Berto found a rectangular box, its length

is 8 cm, its width is 5 cm, and its height
is 4 cm. What is the volume of the
rectangular box?

Who would like to answer this problem?

One pupil will solve the problem.

3. Performing the Activities
Group Activity
Divide the class into three groups.
Distribute different sizes of rectangular
prism objects and ruler.

So class, I will be grouping you

into 3 groups. So what you will do is
that you’re going to measure the length,
width and height of the box that I will be
giving to you later and of course you
need to find its volume.

Remember that this is a group

activity, and all of you should cooperate.
Is that clear?
Yes teacher!
Do you have any questions?

4. Processing the Activities

Let the pupils discuss how they found the None Teacher.

 How did you find the activity?

It’s very fun!

How does cooperation and unity Teacher because of cooperation and

take place in your group activity? unity, we made the task a lot easier.

IV. Evaluation

Find the missing dimension.

 1. V= 943 m3 2. L= 20 cm 3. V= 192 m3
W= 9 m W= 5 cm W= 4 m
L= 7 m H= 10 cm H= 6 m
H= ? V= ? L= ?

4. V= 14, 400 cm3 5. L= 9 ft.

L= 40 cm W= 3 ft.
H= 24 cm H= 5 ft.
W= ? V= ?
