Stimulus

The student is presented with the radius, diameter or circumference of a circle in a mathematical context.

Example 1

Example Stem: The radius of a circle is 7.5 centimeters.

Enter the area of the circle, in square centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Rubric: (1 point) The student enters the correct area in a range of correct values (e.g., 176.63 – 176.79).
