"Sir Cumference and the First Round Table" by Cindy Neuschwander

Starting statisticians work with several sets of data, all of which involve two variables taken from the same subjects. They complete two-way tables and compute relative frequencies. Although the handouts are not visually appealing,...

Students analyze the relationship between radius and diameter.  Students read Sir Cumference and the First Round Table then take measurements of circular items from around the room.  Students compute the radius, diameter and...

The shape of the histogram is also relative. Learners calculate relative frequencies from frequency tables and create relative frequency histograms. The scholars compare the histograms made from frequencies to those made from relative...

This lesson begins with a review of linear functions and segues nicely over its fifteen examples and problems into a deep study of exponential functions. Linear and exponential growth are compared in an investment task. Data tables are...

The test may say you have cancer, but sometimes the test is wrong. The provided task asks learners to analyze cancer statistics for a fictitious town. Given the rate of false positives, they interpret the meaning of this value in the...

In this circumference worksheet, learners solve and complete 5 different figures illustrated on the sheet. First, they cut out each shape found on the bottom. Then, students use the shapes on the left as clues to create the corresponding...

Students read picture books in which mathematics and solutions to math problems play a role in the action. After discussing the books and how the author used math problems to tell a story, they create their own magical, math-ical story...

Students study geometric terms related to circles and solve the problem posed in the book.

Listen to the story "Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi" and solve the riddle and to save Sir Cumference from the knights.  Your students will love mixing an activity with story and will practice their measuring skills while completing...

Students analyze characteristics of various 2 dimensional shapes and explore their properties and use various vocabulary terms to discuss geometric relationships.
