Use cubic metres for measurement of volume

• Recognise the need for a formal unit larger than the cubic centimetre

• Construct and use the cubic metre as a unit to measure larger volumes

• Estimate and measure volumes in cubic metres

Recognise the multiplicative structure for finding volume

• Describe the length, width and height of a rectangular prism as the dimensions of the prism

• Describe arrangements of cubic-centimetre blocks in terms of layers

• Establish the relationship between the number of cubes in one layer and the number of layers to find the volume of a rectangular prism

Find the volumes of rectangular prisms in cubic centimetres and cubic metres

• Construct rectangular prisms using cubic-centimetre blocks and determine the volumes

• Explain that objects with the same volume may be different shapes

• Record, using words, the method for finding the volumes of rectangular prisms
