The resources in this playlist will help students gain a more rigorous understanding of the characteristics of a circle, including the relationships between a circle’s circumference, diameter, and radius. They’ll also learn how to use pi(π) when dealing with circle calculations.
Help students discover the relationship between diameter and circumference with this interactive. Provides great support for visual learners who need to envision the relationship between a circle’s circumference and diameter in a different way. Set the diameter, unravel the circle and then drag the diameter onto the unraveled circumference. Flash Player required.
This Study Jams resource is great for introducing students to concepts related to measuring circles by building upon their current knowledge of measuring distance around objects. Students are guided through the process of finding the circumference of a circle using pi.
OpenUp is an amazing resource for complete math lessons that allow students to learn through hands-on activities. By engaging with this lesson, students will be able to describe the relationship between circumference and diameter of any circle and explain what π means.
