How can we describe the difference between a sheet of loose leaf paper, and a
stack of it?
In this lesson you will learn to identify the difference between a square unit and a cubic unit
by analyzing dimensions.
Let’s ReviewA Common Mistake
Students sometimes forget about units.
Two?Two
birds?
Other times, they use incorrect units.Oh… two snakes!
Be sure to use correct values and correct units.
Let’s ReviewLet’s Review
When we multiply a value times itself, we are squaring that value.
When we multiply a value times itself, and then times itself again, we are
cubing that value.
Let’s ReviewCore Lesson
Square units always have side lengths of 1 unit. (Any unit!)
Cubic units always have edge lengths of 1 unit. (Any unit!)
Let’s ReviewCore Lesson
We use square units to measure area.

How many square feet is that rug?
How many square inches is that piece of loose leaf?
How many square yards of fabric do we need for the new curtains?
We use square units when we compute:

We use cubic units to measure the amount of space that a 3D solid occupies.

Which box contains more cereal?
How many blocks can we fit into that container?
Which bottle can hold more liquid?
We use cubic units when we compute:
In this lesson you have learned to identify the difference
between a square unit and a cubic unit by analyzing
dimensions.
Let’s ReviewGuided Practice
Write the name of each unit in two different ways.

Let’s ReviewExtension Activities
List three instances where you would want to measure something in SQUARE units. Now, list three instances where you would want to measure something in CUBIC units. Be prepared to explain your responses.
Let’s ReviewExtension Activities
Sort through the magazine and articles that your teacher has provided to find references to square units and cubic units. Explain whether the units are being used to measure volume or area.
Let’s ReviewQuick Quiz
Name this figure in two different ways.
Give one example of a situation where you would need to use square units, and one example of a situation where you would need to use cubic units.
