Instructional Ideas
- Have learners cut out nets for the cones and color them as they find the surface area of each piece
- Create a set of problems that includes surface area of different types of solids studied
Classroom Considerations
- Lesson builds from the previous two lessons in this series on cones
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- One example requires the Pythagorean Theorem to find the slant height
Cons
- Examples do not include context, which distracts from the relevance of the topic
