My Robot Can Make Pi - 6th Grade Math (adaptable) - SVGS

Submitted by: John Mustachio:

Students will be able to use an NXT robot to calculate an approximation for pi. This will be done using the robot to collect a data sample. The students will then use the statistical methods described in the Virginia SOL for sixth grade to derive a single estimate for pi to one decimal place.
