Geometry Challenge: Circles- Wait List

Description:

Given the choice between a round pizza and a square pizza, how could you figure out which is a better value? Could you find the shortest route from point A to point B along paths of arcs and straight lines? Students will tackle these and other questions as they explore the properties of circles, radii, chords, arcs, angles, tangent lines, discs, spheres, and areas and perimeters of composite figures. Connections to counting/combinatorics, graph theory, sequences and patterns emerge when we explore equidistant points on a circle. Hands-on components of the class include classic compass and straight edge constructions, and a laboratory experience using water beads to explore the relationship between diameter and the volume of a sphere. Students should be familiar with complementary and supplementary angles, right angles, and the meanings of perimeter, area and volume.
