Lesson: Volumes of Cones Mathematics • 8th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate volumes of cones and solve problems including real-life situations.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

recall the formula for the volume of a cone,
find the volume of a cone with known side lengths and radius (slant height or perpendicular height given),
find the volume of a cone where the area of the base is given and the perpendicular height can be calculated,
calculate a missing length of a cone when given its volume,
use knowledge of the volume of a cone to solve problems presented as real-life systems.
