Material(s): pencil, calculator, RPJ, scissors, sno-cone holder, ruler, tape, and rice

Objective: Students will find the volume of a cone 8 out of 10 times correctly

Students will be able to…

CONNECT to previous • Knowledge of finding the surface area of a cone

work • Students found the volume of a cylinder previously using area of a circle

TEACH • Concept quiz to be given at start of class (Appendix D Pg 170)
