Students construct chords, secants, and tangents. From those constructions, they develop a deeper understanding of the terms, as well as explore certain properties of the constructions.
In UCM, the net force called Fc is equal to mv2/r and is directed toward the center. This is demonstrated by an object that is suspended by a string and is moving in a circular path which makes a conical pendulum. In this experiment, you will measure the tension and the length of the string to show that net force Fc = mv2/r.
In this activity, students are asked to classify functions as even, odd, or neither based on the graph of the function.
Students compare univariate data distributions using statistical concepts like box plots, stem plots, and histograms.
In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the three types of rigid transformations - translations, rotations, and reflections.
This activity assesses students' knowledge and understanding of conservation of energy.
This activity assesses students' knowledge and understanding of conservation of momentum.
This StudyCard stack is a teaching activity that demonstrates that the constant rate of change idea is present in many situations outside the mathematics classroom.
In this activity, students will investigate the construction of circles that pass through a given number of points. They will also investigate the number of points needed to generate a unique circle in a plane.
Given a circle, students will construct a diameter of the circle. They will use the following theorem: In the same circle, if one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.
Students will learn the meaning of the correlation coefficient, find the regression equation and use it to make predictions.
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to solve a geometry problem. They move the vertex point that is common to two right triangles along the base to find the smallest possible sum of the length of the hypotenuse.
Students will solve discrete math problems involving permutations, factorials, and combinations. Students are responsible for deciding which is appropriate to solve a given word problem.
This activity helps students review basic covalent nomenclature.
Students use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and learn the usefulness of them. Students identify the five summary statistical values of data sets - minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values.
Students explore the relationship between two quantitative variables in bivariate data using various x-y plots. They compare the relationships for several categories on the same plot. Students calculate the correlation coefficient to measure the strength and direction of the linear relationship that might exist between two variables.
Students analyze the distribution of categorical data. They calculate percents and visually compare the data sets with a bar chart.
Students categorize data using tables and bar charts. They also determine relative frequencies.
Students sort data and display it graphically using various plots. They also get familiarized with statistical concepts like measures of spread and central tendency.
Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a two dimensional design, and use the calculator to determine the value of the design.
