The document outlines an innovative lesson plan for teaching students how to calculate the volume of a square pyramid. It describes filling a glass square pyramid with sand and pouring it into a square prism to demonstrate that the volume of a square pyramid is one-third the volume of a square prism with the same base area and height. The lesson concludes by having students practice calculating volumes of square pyramids using the formula that the volume is one-third the base area multiplied by the height.
