Product description

From the author

If you teach math and are looking for engaging resources for your students, I have just the resources for you!

What You Get:

This is a Volume of Cones Color by Number Activity. It is a 2-page printable that includes one page combining nine problems and a coloring picture, plus a matching completed key page.

How To Implement This Color by Number Activity:

You should print off enough copies of the worksheet for each student to have. On the first page, students will find the volume of each cone on the page. They will colour the corresponding question number with the correct colour from the table. Students can use the answer key to check their answers before they begin coloring.

This Color by Number Activity is a great way to review these math skills. This can be completed independently. You can also have students work together to solve the problems. This is a great activity for homework or early finishers.

I hope you enjoy!

Learning objectives

  • Calculate the volume of a cone from given dimensions.

  • Match a computed numeric answer to the correct color in a coded key.

Teaching tips

  • Review how radius and height enter the cone-volume formula before independent work.
  • Check calculations against the answer key; the colored picture alone does not establish that every calculation is correct.
