Topic 22-The Circle

This week the aim is for children to  

• identify the properties of a circle  
• Construct a circle of a given radius or diameter. (you will need a compass, ruler and pencil) 

Below is a suggested daily breakdown.  Remember, in the classroom situation, children will progress at different paces.  So, please navigate through the topic whatever way suits best.  Not every question needs to  be completed.   

Monday
Today, focus mainly on the properties of a circle. Before we start to draw circles we need to understand what the properties are, in particular the radius and diameter.  Children have basic knowledge of this already.    
Radius is half the diameter.   
Diameter is double the radius.   
Have a look at this video explaining the parts of a circle
