Which one of these is a 3-dimensional geometric shape?

1

What is volume?

3

x represents multiplication in this equation
Equation for volume: V = l x w x h
What do each of the letters represent in the picture?

1

V= l x w x h
when I plug in the numbers to the equation it would look like this
V= 12 cm x 4 cm x 6 cm

When you multiply 12 cm x 4 cm x 6 cm you only multiply the numbers not the units

This pretest was made to see what schema a student poses on the topic of volume (specifically with rectangular prisms) It is a way for me to see how I should differentiate my instruction in the classroom
