Tracing Time
ORC# 10130
Resource Information
Resource URL:
http://www.ohiorc.org/pm/math/richproblemmath.aspx?pmrid=82
Resource Type:
Content Supports -- Activities and rich problems
Discipline:
Mathematics
Grades:
Grades 11–12
Professional Commentary:
Several interrelated problems are posed to students. All involve the minute and hour hands of a clock and the path traced by the midpoint of the segment connecting the ends of the hands. Students begin by assuming that both hands are the same length and that the clock runs properly and shows the correct time....

Content Supports -- Activities and rich problems
Discipline:
Mathematics
Grades:
Grades 7–12
Professional Commentary:
Students analyze a situation involving target selection to maximize their likelihood of scoring points in throwing darts. They analyze five different targets and are expected to use an area model for predicting theoretical results for throwing darts at individual targets....

http://www.ohiorc.org/pm/math/richproblemmath.aspx?pmrid=75
Resource Type:
Content Supports -- Activities and rich problems
Discipline:
Mathematics
Grades:
Grades 6–7
Professional Commentary:
In the study of geometry, students pass quickly from deriving the formula for the area of a trapezoid from simpler figures to applying the formula in applications. This extended problem gives students the opportunity to look at several different ways in which the area formula for a trapezoid could have been derived....

Resource Type:
Content Supports -- Activities and rich problems
Discipline:
Mathematics
Grades:
Grades 9–12
Professional Commentary:
Materials expand and contract with hot and cold weather. Smart builders take this into account and incorporate expansion joints to compensate for how the various dimensions of a body may change with changing temperature....

Resource Type:
Content Supports -- Activities and rich problems
Discipline:
Mathematics
Grades:
Grades 8–12
Professional Commentary:
A treasure map has bizarre directions that seem a little vague but, indeed, locate a treasure accurately. Students construct examples on a worksheet to help them form a conjecture as to what is going on....

Resource Type:
Content Supports -- Activities and rich problems
Discipline:
Mathematics
Grades:
Grades 9–12
Professional Commentary:
Have students determine the height of a lamp pole, or some other large object, using trigonometric relationships. Then have students find the height of the object using just linear distance(s) and similar triangles....

Products of Reflections
ORC# 10138
Resource Information
Resource URL:
http://www.ohiorc.org/pm/math/richproblemmath.aspx?pmrid=25
Resource Type:
Content Supports -- Activities and rich problems
Discipline:
Mathematics
Grades:
Grades 8–12
Professional Commentary:
Students investigate compositions (called "products") of two reflections and express the result as a single transformation. There are two cases to consider: (1) If the reflection lines are parallel, the product is a translation, and (2) If the reflection lines intersect, the product is a rotation....
