This method of teaching - not just the what, but the why and the how - is the best method of teaching
@Alialun24 жыл бұрын
Well, yes for schools that are specialized around the subject thus contain only people interested in it. But for people that are not interested in it it's not very comfortable. I always loved math lessons because they were taken like this but always understood that people that are not interested in math would prefer just hearing "It's pi r squared, learn that for the exam". And that's perfectly understandable. For example me, I am not interested in, I don't know... politics, for the instance, or economics. And when someone is trying to explain to me how companies internaly work or something like that I am like: "I just see what they do, how they do it and that's how I treat them." And for me, there's nothing more to it and I don't want it to be. It would be hypocrytic to treat fields I am personaly interested in differently than fields I am personaly not.

The problem with doing this in the classroom is how many varied students are in the room. To understand this explanation, you already have a working understanding of area and circumference and this lesson just cements that to a deeper level. If you don't have that understanding, this lesson is confusing and brings in many different concepts and drawings. Imagine a student asking "where did those rectangles come from?" or "do we have to know this for the test?" and how you answer that. This is a great video and is a great approach for tutoring or after class help. But it's a big risk in a classroom.

Alternative proof: You can also cut an extremely thin triangle from the circle from the center. Area of that triangle =0.5*b*r (where r is the radius, b is the base of the triangle) Now, if we add up all such triangles, we will get the area of the circle. So we have, Area of circle = 0.5*r*(sum of the lengths of triangle bases) = 0.5*r*(2*pi*r) =pi*r²

The way our physics teacher explained to us is that volume (4/3 pi r cubed) is the integral of area (pi r squared) which is the integral of circumference “2 pi r” Same thing works for formula for displacement, speed and acceleration if you integrate with respect to time

The thing that people are missing that is so great about his teaching is that he teaches to the WHOLE class. When one student answers with the correct answer, he doesn't just move on, he explains what that kids thinking would have been. This ensures that maths-y kids are staying engaged through participation, and the kids not so great at maths are still getting the *whole* explanation.

Multiplication is a surface ratio of radius. Since it is a constant you can use it for waves production groups. Waves conversions in higher dimensions are a constant times a lower dimension.

Question: A circle of diameter 1. Considering that pi is a irrational number, does the circumference ever loop back on itself, or does it tend to close at Infinity only such as there's never ever such a thing as a closed circle ?
@salutoitoi6 жыл бұрын
Very good question. Maybe I won't respond your question but here is my point: I think that mathematics have been invented to explain the world in which we live and we know that infinite things are mindblowing (did you ever see infinity ?). That's why we created the notion of significant figures where we only take things that can be "finite". For usual uses, 3.14 is enough but maybe for some work where a physicist/scientific works with microns sizes, it won't be enough so you'll have to use more precision and fortunally PI offers you that.
@dinopad106 жыл бұрын
I have a thought on that question... if not necessarily a satisfactory answer! When we look at the real world, as salutoitoi suggested, we never actually have a closed relationship. For instance, at the atomic level, everything that exists, including you and me, actually has space between every atom. There are only electromagnetic forces that hold us together. So, likewise, a circle of a diameter 1 never closes, but gets to an infinitely smaller distance, just as pi gets infinitely smaller, the further from the decimal we calculate. So, I suppose that technically, a circle is actually just a perfectly curved line segment that infinitely, but never ultimately, approaches closure.
@Bananananamann6 жыл бұрын
Yes, it will loop back on itself, according to the definition of continuity. For every epsilon I pick, I can compute pi as exactly, so as to make the gap smaller than that picked epsilon. In other words: The "real" length would be exactly pi. We cannot compute pi, so we take an approximation that is smaller (We could also make the approximation bigger). Now, there is an error. However I can reduce that error at my will, by computing pi more exactly. For every value that I can imagine, I can make the error smaller than this value. This means, that the line would be continuous.

@Ougagagoubu5 жыл бұрын
I'm late but I think the number pi does not work like that. The circumference does loop back on itself after exactly pi*D It is irrational because of the curvature of a circle, wich can't be described by another number. But that doesn't mean that it is a number that can't be shown or reproduced in the real world. Just like a square with the area 2. It's sides are sqrt(2) long, wich is irrational. But it is just that. Very weird to explain but not as weird if you see it drawn on a peace of paper.

So what's your point? You could also find the area by cutting a circle out of a piece of metal, melting the metal and pouring the melt into a square mold of known dimensions, then measuring the thickness and then multiplying the area of the mold by the thickness and taking the square root of the result. However, when you're teaching seventh graders you start with the basics.
