Arc of Ball To Make Basket

Help Pe'Shon Howard decide who to pass the ball to using two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data, including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies, and justify your conclusion....

Drop everything and use the resource. Scholars conduct an experiment to find how long it takes a basketball to drop to the floor from various heights. After creating a graph and modeling the data with a function, they estimate the time...

Who is more accurate, boys or girls? Scholars kick a ball in a goal and record makes and misses. They then analyze the data using standard deviation and variance. Their final task is to make a comparison between the data from boys and...

Determine a fractional distance around the circumference. The resource presents two questions involving arc length. The measures of the central angles are given in degrees. Pupils determine the arc length in terms of pi for one problem...

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...

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...

Taking a major look at arcs is not minor. A segment of an extensive playlist on geometry introduces the concept of an arc in a circle. The resource demonstrates how to find the measure of an arc and defines special types of arcs.

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...

Sometimes the whole circle isn't necessary for our purposes. Learners identify ways to determine the arc length and sector areas of circles. An activity that requires measuring cans helps review the concepts of circumference and area.

Find the length of an arc. Students relate central angles to the area and length of a sector and graph circles on the TI to make predictions.
