Curated OER
Pick's Theorem
In this Pick's Theorem activity, students solve and graph 6 different problems that include using Pick's Theorem to solve. First, they use Pick's Theorem to determine the area of the shapes given as well as their own shapes drawn. Then,...
Curated OER
Pick's Theorem
Students investigate polygons and their lattice. In this calculus activity, students record data using different methods. They analyze their data and draw conclusions based on the relationship between the area and the interior lattice.
Curated OER
Pick's Theorem
Pupils investigate Pick's theorem by completing a lab. In this geometry lesson, students construct polygons using cabri software. They calculate the area of polygons and identify the vertices of each shape.
