Activities for Students: Doing Mathematics with Bicycle Gear Ratios
Sheryl L. Stump
Source abstract
Bicycle gear ratios furnish an interesting context that allows students to explore connections among the concepts of ratio, slope, rate of change, speed, and function. In this activity, students use a bicycle to investigate the relationship between the number of pedal revolutions and the number of wheel revolutions. They also use the speed of pedal revolution and the gear ratio to predict the speed of the bicycle.
