Round and Round We Go

For Teachers 11th - 12th Standards
Connect the dots on trigonometry with K'nex. Scholars use a K'nex model of a Ferris wheel to collect data points to plot on a height versus time graph. They'll then consider what type of function best models the data in the graph—and...

Mathigon: Geometry: Circle and Pi: Degrees and Radians

For Students 9th - 10th Standards
Rather than dividing a circle into some number of segments (like 360 degrees), mathematicians often prefer to measure angles using the circumference of a unit circle - a circle with radius 1. This way of measuring angles is called...
