Volume: Let's Be Efficient

This lesson provides a hands-on approach to develop the formula for finding the volume of a right rectangular prism. Students will apply the formula. Students will determine the volume of figures composed of two right rectangular-prism solids.  While students will decompose simple 3 D shapes into two rectangular prisms, this decomposition is not required in the standard.  It is used here to help deepened student understanding.
