*A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
Build 3-Dimensional Solids Build with Unit Cubes *Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
Calculate Volume Find Missing Values Compare Volume *Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.

Converting Measurement
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
