Click on each orange point and write the correct answer.

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?

Explanation

Question 4 of 6

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

Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 5 of 6

1

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

Select one of the following:

True
False

Explanation

Question 6 of 6

Fill the blank space to complete the text.

If I know that V = l x w x h
than I can say that V = 4 cm x 3 cm x 12 cm
which means V = 144 cm cubed

If l know length x width = a rectangles area
3 cm x 4 cm = 12 cm squared
From looking at the picture I can see that the product of 3 cm and 4 cm are the base of the rectangular prism
If I multiply the new product 12 cm squared by the height of the rectangular prism which is 12 cm then I will
come get 144 cm cubed.

Does this mean that (b= base)

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
