Illuminations: Cubes
"This web resource asks you to fill a box with cubes, rows of cubes, or layers of cubes. The number of unit cubes needed to fill the entire box is known as the volume of the box. Can you determine a rule for finding the volume of a box if you know its width, depth, and height?"
This web resource provides a 3-d visual representation of volume and allows user to change width, depth, or heighth to experiment with figures and volumes. This site could also be used to explore 3-d representations of surface area and perimeter.
