The volume of a shape  is similar to the area of a shape, in that volume measures the space inside of an object.  While area measures the space inside of a 2-dimensional, or flat, shape, volume measure the space inside of a 3-dimensional object.  For example, if you want to buy paint for the walls of your bedroom, you will need to calculate the area of each flat, two-dimensional (length/width) wall.  On the other hand, if you want to fill up your brand new swimming pool, you will need to figure out the volume of water that will bit in your three-dimensional (length/width/height) pool.

For most 3-D shapes, it’s important to know the area of the shape’s base as well as the height of the shape.  For example, to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism (named because of its rectangular base), you have to find the area of the rectangle at its base, then multiply that area by the height of the shape.  The same process applies for another simple 3-D shape, the cube.   It gets slightly more complicated when you encounter different shapes, like cylinders and cones, but the same basic ideas apply: figure out the area of its base, then use the height to calculate the volume.

The math worksheets below will help you explore the concept of volume and allow you to figure out the amount of space inside a variety of different 3-D objects.
