Next, we will show the 3D model of a cone and we will explain the part of the volume for
a cone equation that comes from a circle.

The diagram above will be used to introduce the formula and the components of the formula.
Have the students pull out a piece of paper and draw the diagrams, label the diagrams, and write
the formula chart.
Area of a Circle Formula
A=r2
Popsicle sticks will be used to review the parts and to identify the formulas.
Turn To Your Neighbor
The students will be seated in pairs after the lesson. The students will be grouped by their current
seating assignment, paired with their elbow partners. The teacher will ask a question regarding
the equations of a circle and cone as well as have students label the radius and height in
diagrams. The students will work together to solve the problem and they can use their notes if
they wish. They will be given 30 seconds to decide upon the answer and write it down on a
whiteboard. When I say three after one, two, three, they are expected to sit quietly and raise
their whiteboards. Check for understanding of the procedure to be followed before giving the
students permission to begin.
Closure
With your elbow partner, please list the 4 components to the equation of a volume of a cone.
Write this on a notecard to turn in as your ticket out the door. Each person must turn in their
notecard!
