Central and Inscribed Angle Circle Measurement and Calculation Project
PLEASE NOTE: THE PREVIEW VERSION OF THIS PRODUCT IS THE ACTUAL "STUDENT VERSION" AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS. THE "TEACHER VERSION" INCLUDES DETAILED ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE PROJECT.This project involves the measurement and calculation of both central and inscribed angles inside a circle. I have my Math 3 and Geometry students complete this project toward the end of the unit on circles. It is an excellent way to review the basic properties of central

Mean, Median, Mode, Range and Standard Deviation Summary
I use this MS PowerPoint presentation file to kickoff our study of Statistics in my 9th grade Math I or Algebra I classes. It reviews the definitions and detailed methods required to calculate the mean, median, mode, range and standard deviation of a data set(s). It is a totally animated ppt file and very easy for students to understand. Any of the ppt animations can be modified as desired by the presenter (teacher). It also includes 2 example problems for the students to complete at the en

Experience
I am a retired mechanical engineer who, upon retirement, became a middle and high school math and science teacher via the lateral entry process in NC. I have taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade math and science and 9-12 grade math (Math 1, 2 and 3, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and Precalculus) over the last 15 years.
Teaching style
I typically use a 4-prong approach to teaching math and science in my classroom: 1) 8 to 10 minute presentation (usually a ppt) to introduce and provide some basic instruction for a new math topic, 2) a guided notes paper with lots of blanks to be jointly completed by my students and me, 3) online or hard copy practice worksheets to reinforce the current concepts and confirm understanding and 4) multiple, relevant, hands-on projects to connect the various math and science subjects to the real world. I am a strong proponent of Project Based Learning (PBL) using STEM projects and lessons.
I use my Smartboard and document camera daily during class.
Note: I use all of the MS PPT products that I have listed on TpT website in my own classrooms.
