Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Cones! A cone is a 3D shape with a flat circular base and a curved surface that comes to a point at the top (the apex). It looks like an ice cream cone or a party hat! Ready to explore pointy shapes? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 What is a Cone?
A cone has:
- 1 circular base
- 1 curved surface
- 1 vertex (the pointy top)
- 1 circular edge
A cone — wide at the bottom, pointy at the top!
🔄 Cone vs Pyramid vs Cylinder
Cone → Round base + curved sides
Pyramid → Polygon base + flat triangular sides
Cylinder → Two round bases + curved sides
🎯 Let’s Practice with Cones!
1. How many flat faces does a cone have?
2. What is the pointy part of a cone called?
3. Name 3 things shaped like cones.
