PURPOSE:

This activity requires students to look at shaded portions of circles to figure out what percent is shaded – but no guessing. Using a ruler they will have to figure out what fraction of the whole is shaded and then convert that fraction to a percent. It will require patience and accuracy to make a proper estimate.

STORY:

I really liked a lot of the “shaded region” problems in our textbook but those mostly were used for area and perimeter problems. This project requires some creativity and it is interesting to see who will excel at problem solving with these unique problems.
