Understand what a cone is as a three-dimensional shape.
Identify and name the parts of a cone: base, curved surface, radius, height, and vertex.
Distinguish between a 2D circle and a 3D cone.
Develop spatial thinking and 3D visualization through hands-on model making.
Apply geometric concepts to real-life cone-shaped objects.
A cone has one circular base and one curved surface that meets at a vertex.
Unlike a 2D circle, a cone has height and volume.
The radius and height define the size and shape of a cone.
Making a DIY model helps transform abstract geometry into clear understanding.
Cone shapes are commonly found in ice cream cones, traffic cones, party hats, and funnels.
