Units for Measuring Volume.

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their
personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body
of the module:

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will help you in guiding the

learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their
own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they
do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

 Preface
Dear Pupils,

This module, Mathematics 5 Quarter 4 - Module 3 is written to further

enhance your critical thinking and develop the love of mathematics. This acquired skill
would soon be applied in your everyday lives. This module covers the concepts of
volumes. These topics are presented in such a way that they are easy to understand and
solve..

The following are the special and unique features of this module:
➢ WHAT I NEED TO KNOW. This part presents the competency
or the objective that each learner should know and master.

➢ WHAT’S NEW. This part of the module presents the content

input of the topic that will be discussed.

➢ WHAT IS IT. This contains the discussions of the topic which

include illustrative examples of the lesson.

➢ WHAT’S MORE. In this part, the first activity will be given to

each learner.

➢ WHAT I HAVE LEARNED. Another activity will be answered

by the pupils.

➢ ASSESSMENT. This is the last part of each topic in which

another activity will be given and answered by the learners to

assess if each of them learned and mastered the skill.

Learning Mathematics is fun. It is not as difficult as you think.

We hope this module can help you explore the world of
mathematical concept in relation to your everyday life.

We will have a review of what you have learned about converting cu.cm to cu.m and vice
versa.
Convert the following given to cu.cm to cu.m and vice versa.

1. 12 cu.cm = _________ cu.m

2. 23 cu.m = __________ cu.cm
3. 4.5 cu.cm = _________ cu.m
4. 2.8 cu.cm = _________ cu.m
5. 15 cu.m = __________ cu.cm

What’s New

What Is It
Do you like to solve for the answer?
In answering a word problem you need to follow the steps.
1.Understand and analyze the problem.
2.Identify the given facts.

Given: length=12cm

Height =9cm

Width =6cm

3. The formula for the volume V of a rectangular prism with length l, width w, height h is
V= L x W x H or V=LWH

4.Let us compute the volume of a rectangular prism.

V= 12cm x 6cm x 9cm

= 72 cm 2 x 9cm
3
= 648 cm

3
Answer: The chocolate box has a volume of 648 cm

2. A cube has a side of 5 cm. What is the volume of the cube?

Side = 5 cm

Explanation:

Step 1:

The given cube has a side of 5 cm.

 2
Step 2:
The volume of cube V= S x S x S

V= 5 x 5x 5

V= 125 cubic centimeter

What’s More

Activity 1 : Find the volume by counting the number of cubes.

1. 2.

3.

Activity 2.
Find each volume using the appropriate formula.

3
1. Side=8cm 5. L= 12 cm W= 4 cm H= 3 cm

2. Length= 10cm
Height =5cm
Width =7cm

3. Side= 5cm

4. length= 6 cm

 Estimating and Using Appropriate Units
Lesson for Measuring Volume.

2
What I Need to Know
At the end of the Lesson 2. you are expected to estimates and uses appropriate units of
measure
for volume.

What’s In
In Lesson 1, you have learned how to find the volume of a given cube and a rectangular prism
using cu.cm and cu.m. This time, using the appropriate units, you can measure and estimate the
volume.

Estimate the appropriate unit of volume to measure each of the following:

1. water in a swimming pool 4. Juice in a tetra pack

2. water in a pail 5. Air in a classroom
3. soil in the plant box

What’s New
Study the figure below. (Drawing is not scale)

1cm 1dm
1m

1cm 1 cm 1 dm 1 dm 1m 1m

1 cubic centimeter 1 cubic decimeter 1 cubic metre

3 3 3 3 3 3
1cm = 1000 mm 1 dm = 1000 cm 1m = 1000 dm
1m 3 = 1 000 000 cm3
 6
Study the following and look for the pattern:

2 dm3 = 2 000 cm3 2 000 cm3 = 2 dm3

3 dm3 = 3 000 cm3 3 000cm3 = 3 dm3

3
4.5 dm = 4 500 cm3 4 500 cm3 = 4.5 dm3

What Is It

Would you like to convert one cubic unit to another? We can use the appropriate conversion
factor. Study the following:

Look at the examples below.

3 3
Example 1. 2 dm = ___cm
3 3 3 3 3
Since 1 dm = 1000 cm , then 2 dm = 2 x 1000 cm = 2000 cm
3 3
2. 4.5m = ___ cm
3 3
Since 1 m = 1 000 000 cm, then
3 cm 3
4.5 m = 4.5 x 1 3000 000 cm = 4 500 000

3. 3 500 cm3 = ___ dm 3

Since 1 000 cm3 = 1 dm3 , then

3 500 cm3 = ( 3 500 ÷ 1 000 ) × 1 dm3 = 3.5 × 1 dm3 = 3.5 dm 3

7
 What’s More
Estimate the volume of each of the rectangular prism with the given measurements.

1. 5.2 cm x 3.2 cm x 4.1 cm

2. 6.1 m x 9.8 m x 2.4 m

3. 7.4 mm x 19.1 mm x 10.9 mm

What I Have Learned

Compare. Write =, ˃, or < to replace each .

1. 485 dm3 0.485 m3

2. 152.02 cm3 0.0015202 m3

3. 325 dm3 32 500 cm 3

4. 250 cm3 2.5 dm3

5. 32.5 cm3 3.4 m 3

What I Can Do
Solve each problem.
1. A big box has a volume of 2.25 m 3. What is its volume in cm 3 ?

2. A water tank when half full contains 1.5 m3 of water. How many cubic decimeters of water
will fill the tank?

8
