Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

- Question:
Natasha's classmates have ordered her a cookie pizza for her birthday celebration. To share it among the class, they will be slicing the cookie into equal pieces. They want everyone to have an icing packet to add to his or her slice.
In order to approximate how much icing each person will need, they want to know the area of each slice of cookie. The following table lists the radius of the cookie pizza and the area of some of the possible divisions of the cookie.
This question has three parts.
Part A. What is the relationship between the area of a whole cookie with a radius of 6 units and the area of a portion whose central angle measures k degrees?
Part B. Using the information in the table, click on the blank to complete the equation for finding the area of a portion of a cookie with a radius of 6 units when given the measure of a central angle, in degrees, of the portion.
Part C. Click on the blank to complete the formula that can be used to find the area of any portion of a circle with radius w and a central angle of z degrees.

Problem-Solving Tasks
This task combines two skills: making use of the relationship between a tangent segment to a circle and the radius touching that tangent segment, and computing lengths of circular arcs given the radii and central angles.
Type: Problem-Solving Task
This modeling task involves several different types of geometric knowledge and problem-solving: finding areas of sectors of circles, using trigonometric ratios to solve right triangles, and decomposing a complicated figure involving multiple circular arcs into parts whose areas can be found.
