Harmonic Motion in the Real World Best Curriculum Practice Kathleen Smith It is my opinion that students remember best those concepts which they have the opportunity to experience in action. Toward that end I have designed a three day workshop on harmonic motion that I use to introduce sinusoidal application problems in my trigonometry class. The NCTM Standards state that the study of trigonometry should allow students to "explore periodic real-world phenomena using the sine an ...

SCORE Mathematics Trigonometry Lesson Title/DescriptionCA Standards LinksNCTM Standards Links Noon Project Revisited 2200 years ago, Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth from the measurements of two shadows (in a well and from a pole). The Noon Project is an annual Internet event for schools to team up and make their own measurements. Using the reported 1995 shadow measurements, you can perform the calculations to determine the diameter of the Earth.#1, 5, 10, 12, 13, 14, 199-12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12 Suggestions or comments to Jim Shaver Last updated June 1, 2000
