B. Review of the previous lesson

Before we proceed to our new

lesson for today, let us have a brief
review of our topic yesterday.

We talked about visualizing the

volume of a rectangular prism.

Class, I have here a model of a

rectangular prism.

Based on our discussion yesterday,

what do you called this part?

(The teacher will point the part of

the rows)

Yes, Iya. - The rows, maam.

Very Good! Iya.

What about this part?

(The teacher will point the part of

the column)
- The Column, maam.
Yes, Carlo.

Very Good! Carlo.

And this part?

(The teacher will point the part of

the layers)
- Layers, maam.
Yes, Ieua.

Very Good! Ieua.

Again, how do we visualize the

volume of a rectangular prism?
- By counting the number of the small
Yes,Anrolyn. cubes in a row, column and layer.

Very good! Anrolyn.

It seems like you fully understand

our lesson yesterday.
 C. Motivation

Now, we are going to have an

activity; I will group you into 2
groups. This will be the group 1 and
2.

I will give you an illustration board

where are you going to write your
answer.

I will flash a card that has an

equation of multiplication.

The first group who will raise first

their answer correctly will get the
point.

The group who will get the highest

score will receive a prize after the (Expected answers of the groups)
class.
1. 48
1. 8 x 3 x 2 =? 2. 40
2. 2 x 4 x 5 =? 3. 40
3. 5 x 4 x 2 =? 4. 18
4. 1 x 6 x 3 =? 5. 32
5. 8 x 2 x 2 =?

Let us clap for the winner. Very

good that it seems like you do all
know how to multiply 3 numbers
because that will be useful in our
new lesson for today.

C. Lesson Proper

Again class, what is this solid

figure?
- Rectangular prism, maam.
Yes, Blesse.

This rectangular prism is the figure

that we used to visualized volume
represented by small cubes
yesterday.

Again, what is the volume? - 12 cm3

Yes, Lance.

Correct! Lance.

Yesterday, we will be able to get the

volume by counting the number of
the small cubes in rows, layers and
column.
Today, you will discover that there
is another way to find the volume of
a rectangular prism.

What do you think is it?

Here is the clue.
- Using a formula, maam.
4RM + YOU + L.A.

Yes, Patrick.
- 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 ang galing-galing!
Very good! Patrick. Let us give him
the Ang galling-galing clap Go!

We will be able to get the volume of

a rectangular prism with the use of
a formula. You will also discover
that later. But before that, I have a
question, what do you think is the - Maam that is the length of rectangular
other name for the row? prism.

Yes, Iya.

Very good! This is the length. - Maam that is the width of rectangular
prism.
What about the column?
Yes, Rizza.

Very good! Rizza.This is the width.

Lastly, what do you think is the - Maam that is the height of the
layers? rectangular prism.

Yes, Daniel.

Correct! This is the height.

What do you think is called for the - Dimensions, maam.

length, width and height of
rectangular prism?

Yes, Celine.

Very good! Celine. They are

dimensions.

If the length is 3 cm, width is 2 cm,

height is 2 cm and the volume is
- By multiplying 3 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm.
equals to 12 cm3. How do you think
will be able to get the volume?
- 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 Awesome!
Yes, Addie.

Exactly! Very good! Addie.

Lets give her the Awesome clap!
Go!

So, what do you think is the

formula to find the volume of a - Length times width times height.
rectangular prism?
- 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 ang galing-galing!
Yes, Michelle.

Very Good! Michelle.Lets give her - 3 dimensions.

the Ang galing-galing clap! Go!

How many dimensions that it has?

What about the unit? We can write

the formula as l x w x h. Let us
multiply the unit for each
dimension.

cm x cm x cm - Square cm.

What would be the unit?

Yes, Nicole.

Very good! Nicole

Square cm. x cm - Cubic cm.

What would be the unit?

Yes, Abigail.

Very good! Abigail.

For you to easily remember the

formula, I prepared a song.
- (The pupils will sing)
Repeat after me.

Length times width (2x)

and times height (2x)
just to get the volume (2x)
Length times width and times
height.
 Let us have another example.

- The measure of the length is 9cm

WWho can write first

the measure for the length?
- The measure of the width is 3 cm
Yes, Zeth.

Very good!Zeth.

And how about the width?

- The measure of the height is 6 cm
Yes, Camille

Very good! Camille

And for the height?

Yes, Catherine - The formula of the volume is

V=LxWxH
Very good! Catherine

Who can give me the formula of the

volume?

Yes, Pearl

Exactly! - V = 9 cm x 3 cm x 6 cm

Who can substitute the measure of

the length, width, and height for the
formula of the volume of
rectangular prism?
- Volume is equals to 162 cm3
Yes, Jess

Very good! Jess

And who can solve the volume of

the rectangular prism?
- (Each group will work together to
Yes, Decie finish the activity)
Very good! Decie

D. Application - (Expected answers from the group)

(Each group will be given a model
- Group 1 v= 200 cm3
of a rectangular prism.)
- Group 2 v= 336 cm3
 What are you are going to do is, to
find the volume of the given model
of rectangular prism. - (Each group will present their work in
front of the class)
You will write your solution from
the given illustration board that you
used on our first activity.

I will give you 3 minutes to finish - 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 Achieved!

the activity. You may start now.

Let us start from group 1.

(The teacher will call each group to

present their work)

Very Good! Give them the Otwol

- It could damage the box.

E. Generalization

From the box that you used, what do

you think will happen if you put
something that is longer than its length,
width or height?

Yes, Hermione. - No, Maam, because it is already

broken.
Correct! Hermione. It could damage the
box.

When the box is already damage, is it

still safe to use? Why?

Yes, Celine.
- We will be able to know the capacity of
Very good! Celine. There is a big a rectangular prism.
possibility that it is not safe to use
again because it is already destroyed.

So, what do you think is the importance

of knowing the volume of a rectangular
prism?

Yes, Neldrick.

Very good! Neldrick.

- We can avoid our box from being

volume of a rectangular prism, it is
easy for us to know what its capacity
and what are the things that it can
handle.

Another?
 Yes, Abigail.
- Length x width x height
Very good! Abigail. That is very
important.

Again, what is the formula in finding

the volume of a rectangular prism? - Cubic unit
Yes, Riza.

Very good! Riza.

And what is the unit? - None, Maam.

Yes, Aizelle.

Very good! Aizelle.

Do you still have any questions? - (Expected answers of the pupils)
