Derivation of Value of Pie
Product Code : JA-MLK-1900
The Derivation of Value of Pie set (SKU JA-MLK-1900) is a maths lab activity for finding the value of pi by measurement. Pupils measure the circumference and the diameter of a circle, divide one by the other and find that the result is close to 3.14 whatever the size of the circle. Repeating the measurement on circles of different sizes shows that pi is a constant ratio. JaincoLab makes this activity set for middle school maths labs, where it gives the formulas for circumference and area a practical starting point.
Specifications
The activity is based on measuring the circumference and diameter of circles; the parts supplied, their sizes and material are confirmed on the quotation.
