| Description: | The mathematical ideas developed in this activity consist in the iteration of linear units to measure a curved path. The process of constructing a path of a given length can be difficult, even for middle-school-aged students, to perform with accuracy. This environment gives students opportunities to explore the iteration of units along a curved path in a realistic situation by relating the rotation of a wheel to the accumulation of distance units (similar to a trundle wheel). | ||
