Dart Mathematics: Using Paper, Nerfs, Graphing Calculators, and SMART Boards
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Regional Conference
(2013)
Abstract
Discover the math of playing darts with Nerf boards and technology simulations. We will look at the concepts of geometric area for squares, circles, and sectors as well as geometric probability. We'll use random numbers to locate dart hits on a coordinate plane and calculate experimental and theoretical probabilities.
