    • find the total volume of solid figures 
    • find the area of rectangles with whole-by-mixed and whole-by-fractional number side lengths 
    • draw, analyze, and classify two-dimensional shapes 

    Common Core Learning Standards:

    5.NF.B.4 - Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

    5.NF.B.6 - Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

    5.MD.C.3 - Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

    5.MD.C.4 - Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

    5.MD.5 - Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.

    5.G.B.3 - Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

    5.G.B.4 - Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
