35- Dart Mathematics: Using Paper, Nerfs, Graphing Calculators, and SMART Boards

Thursday, October 24, 2013: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
Brasilia 2 (Rio)
Lead Speaker:
Kathleen Cage Mittag


Discover the math of playing darts with Nerf boards and technology simulations. We will look at the concepts of geometric area for squares, circles, and sectors, as well as geometric probability. We'll use random numbers to locate dart hits on a coordinate plane and calculate experimental and theoritical probability.
