Navigating Through Measurement In Grades 9-12 (Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Navigations Series)
By Unknown Author.
Description
Throughout history, the need for more sophisticated measurements has led to the discovery of more sophisticated mathematics. This book highlights this important idea in activities that help students explore an array of measurement strategies and techniques. Investigations probe ancient methods for performing such tasks as measuring the speed of ships at sea and estimating the distance of the sun from the earth. Students apply simple formulas to measure complex shapes, explore iterative processes that lead to measurement formulas, and develop an original formula for measuring the size of a t...
