Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Topic options: 
A. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
B. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
C. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
D. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
G. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
H. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
K. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to calculate the volume of cones given their height and radius. Students are given a cylinder with the same height and radius and use the volume relationship they learned in the previous activity to calculate the volume of the cone. They then calculate the volume of a cone given a height and radius using the newly learned formula for volume of a cone. For the last problem, an image is not provided to give students the opportunity to sketch one if they need it.
Launch
Give students 3–5 minutes of quiet work time followed by a whole-class discussion.

Are you ready for more?
A grain silo has a cone shaped spout on the bottom in order to regulate the flow of grain out of the silo. The diameter of the silo is 8 feet. The height of the cylindrical part of the silo above the cone spout is 12 feet while the height of the entire silo is 16 feet.
How many cubic feet of grain are held in the cone spout of the silo? How many cubic feet of grain can the entire silo hold?

Anticipated Misconceptions
In the first problem, students might use 10 as the radius length. Ask students what the length of 10 in the picture is called. Ask students to recall the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
For students who are not sure where to begin the last problem since it does not have an image, encourage them to sketch and label their own.
Activity Synthesis
For the first problem, Invite students to explain how they calculated the volume of both figures and have them share the different strategies they used. If not mentioned by students bring up these strategies:
Calculate the volume of the cylinder, then divide volume of cylinder by 3 to get the volume of the cone.
Calculate the volume of the cylinder, then multiply volume of cylinder by
\(\frac13\)
to get the volume of the cone.
Calculate the volume of the cone, then multiply volume of cone by 3 to get the volume of the cylinder.
For the third problem, ask students to share any sketches they came up with to help them calculate the answer. Explain to students that sometimes we encounter problems that don’t have a visual example and only a written description. By using sketches to help to visualize what is being described in a problem, we can better understand what is being asked.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Break the class into small discussion groups and then invite a representative from each group to report back to the whole class. All group members should be prepared to share if invited.
Supports accessibility for: Language; Social-emotional skills; Attention
Writing: MLR3 Clarify, Critique, Correct.
Present an incorrect response to the first question that reflects a possible misunderstanding from the class. For example, “The volume is
\(4000\pi\)
because
\(\pi*4*10^2\)
.” Prompt students to critique the reasoning (e.g., ask, “Do you agree with the author’s reasoning? Why or why not?”) and then write feedback to the author that identifies the misconception and how to improve on his/her work. Listen for students who tie their feedback to the difference between the radius and diameter and use the academic vocabulary (e.g., height, radius, diameter, cylinder, cone, volume, etc.). This will help students evaluate, and improve on, the written mathematical arguments of others and highlight the distinction between and the importance of radii when calculating volume of cylinders and cones.
