Common Core Math - HS Geometry

Lesson Plan

Use volume formulas to solve

Goals / Objectives

Select and apply the correct volume formula (cylinder, pyramid, cone, or sphere) for a given real-world or mathematical problem

Solve problems involving composite solids by decomposing them into standard shapes and summing or subtracting volumes

Perform unit conversions within volume calculations (e.g., cubic centimeters to liters, cubic feet to gallons)

Set up and solve equations where volume is given and a missing dimension must be found

Interpret volume calculations in real-world contexts, including capacity, material usage, and containment
