|strategy= This resource offer students the opportunity to measure and calculate with large size cylinders and frustum. The challenge for students is to work with ‘real life’ numbers: Scale factors which are not rounded, and sectors with unconventional angle size such as 187 degrees. Teachers have the opportunity to assess students’ work using questioning. It is also a fantastic opportunity to assess students’ ability to communicate the maths to peers. The pedagogical purposes are to revise all circle material, and to introduce the challenge of working with less conventional measures and numbers. It would be hard to use the resource in a conventional size classroom, as the drums and large objects do take a lot of space. Students need to be able to walk around objects and measure comfortably. | |strategy= This resource offer students the opportunity to measure and calculate with large size cylinders and frustum.
