Learning goals: Teacher Facing Generalize a process for finding the volume of a cube, and justify (orally) why this can be abstracted as $s^3$. Include appropriate units (orally and in writing) when reporting lengths, areas, and volumes, e.g. cm, cm 2 , cm 3 . Interpret and write expressions with exponents 2 and 3 to represent the area of a square or the volume of a cube.
