ACTIVITY #4 - REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS - JUST FOR FUN or EXTRA CREDIT INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Click on the Tires below and read the real world situation of the constant Pi. As you saw in your Measuring Circles activity, when the diameter (height) of a circle (tire) increases, so does the circumference (length of rotation) of the circle (tire). See how this can affect your odometer and speedometer readings when you change the size of your automobile tires. You can earn extra credit by working the Einstein Problem. Click on Einstein to begin. 3.Click on link under the Crop Circle for a look a recent mathematical find!!! |
