What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Measure the circumference and diameter of five round objects and divide to estimate pi. The directions on the page read: You need 5 circular objects, string, a centimeter ruler and a calculator. C is circumference, the distance around. An answer key is included.
Can I use this exploring pi worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade number theory, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
