Parts of a Circle

 

Students learn how to identify and describe the different parts of a circle.

Later, as learning progresses, they learn how to construct circular shapes to scale.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to identify and construct a circle's radius, diameter, circumference and area.
  • Most students should be able to identify and construct a radius, diameter, circumference, area, chord, tangent and arc.
  • Some students should be able to construct circular shapes using the appropriate terminology and investigate basic circle properties.
