  • Volume of a cube or cuboid can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height together
  • Larger cubes can be represented in terms of the number of smaller cubes needed to form it
  • Volume of a larger cube can be calculated by counting the number of smaller cubes and multiplying by the volume of one smaller cube
  • Volumes of complicated shapes can be determined by submerging them in water and measuring the increase in water level
