Finding the Circumference of a Circle

Students learn about finding the circumference of a circle as a multiple of π and as a decimal correct to 3 significant figures.  As learning progresses students are challenged to find the perimeter of semi-circles and sectors.At the start of the lesson students recap finding the perimeter of complex shapes using a right-angled triangle.  The plenary challenges students to apply their learning to a real work problem.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to find the circumference of a circle as a multiple of pi when the diameter is given.
  • Most students should be able to find the circumference of a circle to 3 significant figures.
  • Some students should be able to calculate the arc length of a sector.

Rounding to a significant figure

January 29, 2019

When I teach rounding to a significant figure, I ask the class to discuss in pairs or small groups a definition for the word significant.  It is a word that all the students have heard before but not all are able to define. After 2 or 3 minutes of conversation I ask the students to […]

Calculating Instantaneous Rates of Change

January 13, 2019

When calculating instantaneous rates of change students need to  visualise the properties of the gradient for a straight line graph.   I use the starter activity to see if they can match four graphs with their corresponding equations. The only clue is the direction and steepness of the red lines in relation to the blue line […]

Converting Between Fractions, Decimals and Percentages

January 4, 2019

Fractions, decimals and percentages are ways of showing a proportion of something.  Any fraction can be written as a decimal, and any decimal can be written as a percentage.  In this blog I discuss how to use the place value table and equivalent fractions to illustrate how fractions, decimals and percentages are connected. You can […]
