Notes for Session 7, Part A
 |
Note 2 | |
|
If you do not have a bicycle wheel available, you can start this section by estimating the circumference of different circular objects, such as the rim of a large bowl or can. Cut a piece of string the length of the estimate and then compare the estimate to the actual circumference. Most people grossly underestimate circumference.

Note 5 | |
|
Entering coordinates (diameter and circumference) for more than five objects might show a better approximation of a line. You can also find the line of best fit to see the patterns. To learn more about scatter plots and the line of best fit, go to Learning Math: Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability, and find Session 7, Part A and Part D respectively.
