Volume of a Cone Teacher Resources

Discover another way to find the volume of a cone. Pupils explore how the area of a cross section changes as it moves through a cone. The interactive uses that knowledge to develop the integral to use to find the volume of the cone....

All you need are a few values to find the the volume of a cone! Watch an informative math video that guides learners through the formula needed, as well as the relationship between the cone's volume and the volume of other...

Is it possible to find the volume of a cone? Of course! Using the formula for the volume of a cone, the video shows how to calculate an exact and an approximate answer for a cone's volume. The worksheets challenge pupils to perform...

There's a formula for that. An educational video shows viewers how to apply geometry formulas to solve problems. It covers the formulas for the circumference of a circle, volume of a cone, and the Pythagorean Theorem.

The formula to find the volume of a cone is volume equals one-third times the base times the height. The base can be found by using the formula to find the area of a circle: base equals pi times radius squared. So it seems that the area...

Geometry whizzes solve and complete 24 different problems that include determining the volume and surface area of spheres and cones. First, they use the given information to determine the volume of a cone. Then, pupils use the given...

Just how much ice cream will the cone hold? The video provides the formulas to find the surface area and the volume of cones. Using example problems, the section of a geometry playlist shows how to use the formulas to find the surface...

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the volume of a cone, given either the diameter or radius and the height. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Mathematicians investigate maximizing volume by learning to explore the problem in which they seek to maximize the volume of a cone.  Students solve the problem symbolically, graphically, and through the use of integration or...

Sal solves an example for finding the rate of change of the height of water in a cone at a specific point when it is being filled at a given rate. In this video, Sal reviews the volume of a cone and the chain rule and then, uses these to...

A slideshow covering the Smarter Balanced Target I on solving problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres contains five sample items. Items range from finding the volume of a figure to finding the altitude of a cone given...

Learners consider the rate of filling a cone in the 23rd installment of this lesson series. They analyze the volume of the cone at various heights and discover the rate of filling is not constant. The lesson ends with a discussion of...

Unlike a volcano, the lesson won't blow up in your face. Young mathematicians use dried beans to discover the relationship between the volumes of cones and cylinders and to write a formula for the volume of a cone. They then research...

In this volume worksheet, students find the volume of five cones.  Students are given two pieces of information for each cone.  Solutions are provided.

In this volume and surface area worksheet, pupils use their calculators to find the volume or surface area of a pictured 3-dimensional figure.

Our teacher told us the formula had one-third, but why? Using manipulatives, classmates try to explain the volume formula for a pyramid. After constructing a cube with six congruent pyramids, pupils use scaling principles from previous...

Young mathematicians find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid and a cone. In what looks like a typical activity out of a textbook, you'll find an activity where learners find an unknown measurement of a pyramid or cone,...

Math: The only subject where the solution to a problem is seven million matches. Young scholars first complete an assessment task estimating the number of matches they can make from a tree of given dimensions. They then evaluate provided...

This instructional activity starts with geometers discussing how to find the volume of a cone and pyramid, using what they know about the volume of a cylinder or prism. Then, using the formulas, they calculate the volume of cones and...

Students identify the volume of cones and pyramids. In this geometry lesson, students derive the formula for cones and pyramids. They calculate the volume of cones and other three dimensional shapes.

Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

In this comprehensive  learning exercise, young geometers solve a number of surface area and volume problems. Problems range from basic formula-based calculations to more challenging geometric figures and word problems.
