For example
A box holding 24 sugar cubes has a volume of 24 cubes.
In Grade 6
Children fill boxes with cubes and count them long before meeting any formula.
Watch out for
Children often mix volume up with area. Area covers a flat surface, while volume fills a solid space.
Say it at home
Fill a box with small blocks and count how many fit inside.
Younger children may meet this as: space it fills, how much it holds inside.
