Where's the Math: In this investigation,
students make predictions and investigate
ratios in geometry by using computer
simulations.
Standards: Geometry,
measurement,
number
& operations
Role of Components: The
Pi Machine problem series uses AgentSheets
to generate random points inside
the circles. Swing
slider allows students to change
the radius, simple table
displays data, and number
entry allows students to select
the total number of points in the
simulation. Instructions are displayed
and solutions are entered in a
text entry box. Components are
coordinated with Javascript.
