Peer reviewedCoes, Loring, III – Mathematics Teacher, 1997
Presents activities that use toy balloons to offer students interesting opportunities to connect algebra and geometry. Involves students measuring the speed of a released balloon and investigating the subtle relationship between the volume of a sphere and its surface area. Prompts a rich and revealing discussion about why the experimental results…
