Rectangular Prism: L x W x H to get the volume right.
1. Line the item right on the 0 cm line.
2. Find the two numbers it is in between (ex: 8 and 9)
3. Count how many lines past your object is (ex: 3 lines)
4. Determine your measurement (ex: 8.3 cm)
5. repeat for other two sides
6. Multiply L x W x H = Volume (cubic units)

This song goes over how to find the volume of a rectangular prism. It's to the tune of "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.

This song makes makes it clear how to measure the volume of different things... like a robot! (Thanks Zoey M. for video)

This is similar to what your notes should look like after reviewing the "Volume Flow Chart."

Cyberchase, an award-winning animated series from PBS, chronicles the adventures of three extraordinary kids, collectively called the CyberSquad. With the help of Dr. Marbles and Digit, Motherboard's faithful aides, the kids must save the Internet from Hacker's evil plans using logic and mathematics instead of weapons and dramatics to defeat any obstacles in their way! In this episode, students explore the relationship between volume and dimension--and the importance of a standard unit of measurement. Determined to destroy Motherboard in any way possible, Hacker cleverly clogs up her cooling system. Digit brings the kids into cyberspace to help to help fix her, but the special coolant Motherboard needs, cryoxide, is found only in Castleblanca, and supply is closely monitored! To bring back exactly enough cryoxide for Motherboard, the kids have to figure out the exact volume of Motherboard's tank. In the process, they discover the importance of a standard unit of measure and fill a most unusual container with the precious cryoxide.
