Applying Quantitative Reasoning to Clarify Arc Measurements
Glassmeyer, David; Barton, Daniel
Georgia Educational Researcher, v17 n1 Article 1 p1-10 Jan 2020
The importance of reasoning quantitatively is reflected in both mathematics education research and mathematical standards for K-12 students. In this article, we detail how a quantitative reasoning framework can be used to help differentiate two quantities we have found students often struggle with: arc length and the measure of a central angle. We argue that taking the time to define all four components of a quantity can support students' understanding of theorems involving these quantities.
