PAST QUESTION
BIG WHEEL, SMALL WHEEL
Louise just purchased a penny-farthing bicycle. She wants to take it on a 3-kilometre ride.
The front wheel on the penny-farthing bicycle has a Diameter of 70 cm
The back wheel on the cycle has a 15 cm diameter.
If you were describing these circumferences in metres, what would they be?
How many times would these wheels turn during Louise’s ride?
Would the large or the small tyre get more wear and tear on a long journey?
EQUATIONS:

Circumference

1. What new vocabulary words or terms were introduced? New words that were introduced are Circumference, Diameter and Area.
2. Describe a mistake or Misconception that you or a classmate had in class. What did you learn from this mistake or misconception? When we were doing a problem I didn't look at the problem clearly and I didn't bother to ask my group causing some problems. I learned that if you have questions ask them because you might end up getting confused and not understanding something clearly.
