Our 6th Grade students have been asked to make a new
set of fraction materials (Montessori) for our Upper
Elementary classrooms (4th through 6th grades).
The materials are a series of fractional circles with
a diameter of 20cm, ranging from 1/2 to 1/20 (180
degrees to 13 degrees).
It is easy enough to do the job using Excel, but I
would like to try to use Microworlds 2.0. The students
use LOGO for geometric constructions, so this would be
an extension of that if it can be done.
The bottom line is that they need to draw a circle
with a 20cm diameter and then insert the radii -- all
with LOGO.
Can that be done?
If so, I want to work the students through the
discovery process to see if they can get there, but
first I have to know where "THERE" is!!
Thanks, all!!
