GEOMETRY AND A GAME OF BILLIARDS
- Let's play billiards, but no fancy stuff. This is maths.
- What?
- Use your imagination.
- ...
- The points where the ball hits the cushion form straight lines which go through certain points....
- Geometry?
This unit is purely theoretical. It probably won't turn you into a billiards champion but you will see the game in a different light.
- To investigate by playing.
- To use certain mathematical knowledge such as finding the reflection of a point about a straight line, a straight line which passes through two points, the point where two lines intersect and the distance between two points.
- To generalize a problem.
