Sample problems, Exeter Academy

At constant speed, a wheel rotates once counterclockwise every 10 seconds. The center

  • f the wheel is (0, 0) and its radius is 1 foot. A

paint spot is ini1ally at (1, 0); where is it t seconds later?

Quinn is running around the circular track x2+y2 = 10000, whose radius is 100 meters, at 4 meters per second. Quinn starts at the point (100, 0) and runs in the counterclockwise

  • direc1on. AGer 30 minutes of running, what are

Quinn’s coordinates?

Sample problems, Exeter Academy

Represen1ng one unit by at least five squares on your graph paper, draw the unit circle, which is centered at the origin and goes through point A = (1, 0). Use a protractor to mark the third-quadrant point P on the circle for which arc AP has angular size 215 degrees. Es1mate the coordinates of P, reading from your graph

  • paper. No1ce that both are nega1ve numbers. Turn on

your calculator and ask for the cosine and sine values of a 215-degree angle. Do further explora1on, then explain why sine and cosine are known as circular func/ons.

“Concepts Before Procedures”

From NCTM’s Principles to Ac/ons (p42):

  • “the importance of an integrated and

balanced development of concepts and procedures in learning mathema1cs”

  • “NCTM and CCSSM emphasize that

procedural fluency follows and builds on a founda1on of conceptual understanding, strategic reasoning, and problem solving”

26 @theslowbe

#NCTMinst

“Concepts Before Procedures”

From NCTM’s Principles to Ac/ons (p42):

  • “Students must be able to do much more than

carry out procedures. They must know which procedure is appropriate and most produc1ve in a given situa1on, what a procedure accomplishes, and what kind of results to

  • expect. Mechanical execu1on of procedures

without understanding their mathema1cal basis oGen leads to bizarre results.”

Making Sense of All 6 Trig FuncFons

Discuss at your tables: Why do we teach reciprocal trig func1ons? How do you teach reciprocal trig func1ons? What’s the purpose?

31 @theslowbe

#NCTMinst

Making Sense of All 6 Trig FuncFons

  • Is any more difficult to solve than

?

  • Even graphing calculators do not have bu3ons

for reciprocal func1ons

  • Mathema1cal needs, applica1ons in future

courses

  • Other ra1onales?
