Prosthetic Design
Students research characteristics of different body parts. Students design and sketch a prosthetic they developed. They share their idea with the class and complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Angles and Arcs
Students discuss the sum of central angles and use string to create them on circles. They find the measure and length of both minor and major arcs.
Students give examples of concentric, similar, and congruent circles and congruent arcs.
Curated OER
Math: Arcs and Chords
Students draw diagrams demonstrating how it is possible to two central angles to be congruent and their minor arcs are not congruent. In groups, they illustrate theorems with their constructed circles, create diameters of circles that...
