Measurement is a prominent topic of study in mathematics because of its practicability in so many areas of life (CCSSI 2010; NCTM 2000). Solving triangle area problems appears in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSI 2010) for grade 6 geometry. The focus is on understanding the area formula for triangles by relating the shapes to rectangles. It is crucial to have a concrete understanding of how to find the height of a triangle to apply the area formula for triangles

Our favorite lesson, an interactive experiment that models exponential decay, launches with a loud dice roll. This exploration engages students in lively data collection that motivates interest in key components of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics: functions, modeling, and statistics and probability (CCSSI 2010).
