Adonis have two 3cm x 3 cm Rubik’s cube and laid them down side by side to form
a rectangular prism as shown.

Ask.
(For Grade 3)
What does Adonis have?
What figure is formed on top of the prism?
Can you count how many small squares are there on top of the prism?

(For Grade 4)
Let the pupil make a guess how many 1-cm cubes can be counted on the pile.

Explain that 1-small square is equivalent to 1-
square unit.

Ask:
What is the area of your figure?

Explain that the column is referred to as the

length and the row is referred to as width.

Let the pupils measure the length and width of

their figures.

Ask:
What is the relationship of the length and width
to the area of a rectangle?

G T
Provide the pupils with the Activity Sheet. Explain that the total number of 1-cm
(see Appendix 3) cubes contained in the prism is the volume
of the prism itself..

Let pupils measure the rectangular prism

by its three dimensions.

Guide the pupils derive the volume of the

rectangular prism by relating the length,
width and the height to the volume.

Describes the attributes of square and a rectangle. Let the pupils manipulate the rubik’s cubes.
( 3x3 rubik’s cube) and (4x4 rubik,s cube).
Let the pupils give concrete examples of square.
Let them observe the lateral faces of the cubes.
Elaborate that the length and width of a square are
just the same.

Guide the pupils in deriving the formula in finding the

area of a square.
What did you notice about the lateral faces of
the cubes?

Since L = W then A = s x s

By knowing the measure of one side of a square, we

can now determine the area of a square.
