Just some handy little tidbits about how to show kids the attributes of shapes in fun and more visual ways...
Corners or Vertices....
Sides... (Yes! I wrote on my manipulatives!)
Edges and Vertices (I showed the kids the pieces and built the shapes in front of them.)
Writing on manipulatives = smart teaching :) I do it too... gasp!

Check your cone. It should not have a corner or vertex. A corner/vertex is where two flat sides meet. Since a cone only has one flat side, it does not have any corners or vertices. I made the same mistake in my first couple of years of teaching this.
