A fun way to use a real-life movement activity to build foundational skills in unit rate topics. A helpful resource for finding distances is www.onthegomap.com.

This student-led project allows students to choose two colors and their wavelengths, and then go on to graph and find a trigonometric sine or cosine equation for both colors. There are extra exploration questions at the end of the project.

Students will get to practice their skills in both finding areas of sectors and data graphing in this fun pie chart survey activity. Instructions are included for students and teacher on the handout. Students will be required to ask a question, record answers, plot the answers as sectors in a pie chart, and find the areas of the sectors.
