Help your student become a(n) Volume Quantifier
Activities build a more three-dimensional understanding of volume through counting the number of scoops of water or sand it takes to fill a container and especially when packing a box full of cubes. Discussion of filling the 3D space is important, emphasizing the number of scoops, cubes, or another unit.
