Plain Figures And Measuring Figures
Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...
Curated OER
Measuring Up!
Students measure body correctly for proper fit, observe how to properly measure body for correct pattern fit, and perform measurements on themselves and partners. Students then alter pattern pieces by adding and shortening lengths.
