Arc of Ball To Make Basket

Investigate relationships between angles, arcs, and segments in circles. Pupils use geometry software to discover the relationships between angles, arcs, and segments associated with circles. Class members use similar triangles to...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Life's not fair, but decisions can be. The 17th installment of a 21-part module teaches learners about fair decisions. They use simulations to develop strategies to make fair decisions.

This extensive chapter gives learners a new angle on that old geometry favorite, trigonometry. From the unit circle to right triangles, the role of trigonometric ratios is explored through explanation of theory and working application...

This second of twelve algebra 2 units continues the first section's emphasis on matrices and using technology tools. Through these lessons, the class will manipulate polynomials and solve systems of equations, convert units, find...

What do skateboarding and baked goods have in common with math? You can use them to connect half-pipe ramps and cakes to arcs and sectors. Pupils compare the lengths of three different ramp options of a skate park. They calculate the...

Investigate the world of unknown quantities with a creative set of five lessons that provides problem situations for varying grade levels. Each problem presents a scenario of fruit with different weights and a balance scale. Using the...

How do graphic designers project three-dimensional images onto two-dimensional spaces? Scholars connect their learning of matrix transformations to graphic design. They understand how to apply matrix transformations to make...

Sun, sand, ocean and geometry—what more could a class need? The main activity in this unit has learners calculating volume of sand-building equipment and beach balls using sphere, cone and cylinder formulas. The real wealth of...

Circular patterns and movement are commonplace in our world. Young mathematicians begin their study of circles with instruction on finding the degree measure of both major and minor arcs. Examples focus on the arc in relation to the...
