Geometry: curves
In this curves worksheet, students identify the curves in the shapes given as being either closed or open. Students complete 5 problems total.
Balanced Assessment
On Averages and Curves
Determine the average on a curve. The class finds graphical representations of averages and expresses them both symbolically and on the graph. The assessment requires class members to justify using average to describe graphs.
