Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that illustrate graphing circles.

This study guide on circular motion covers key terms, centripetal force, linear vs. circular motion, precession, and equations. Includes four example problems with detailed solutions. The guide is available for download with free...

Seventh graders will measure the circumference and diameter of round things in the classroom and discover the ratio pi. They will see that the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter can be used to solve for the circumference...

This lesson expands your knowledge about circles by learning about the segment of a circle, which will include its mathematical definition, area of the segment, types of segments in a circle, theorems based on a segment of a circle, and...

A comprehensive guide for learning all about chords of a circle with definitions, chords of a circle theorems, intersecting chords theorem, congruent circles, diameter, solved examples, and practice questions.

Rather than dividing a circle into some number of segments (like 360 degrees), mathematicians often prefer to measure angles using the circumference of a unit circle - a circle with radius 1. This way of measuring angles is called...

This lesson focuses on the characteristics of a circle including similarity, radius, circumference, and Pi. It provides formulas to determine the area of a circle, calculating Pi, and learning exercises throughout.

Practice measuring angles using a circle protractor, solve problems about angles as part of a circle.

A basic review of circles and how to calculate the circumference, radius, diameter, and area. Includes practice questions.

In this task, seven pennies are placed in a circle so that they are all touching one in the center and their neighbors. Students are asked to find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can which are symmetries of this configuration...

The purpose of this task is to help students make the connection between the graphs of sin t and cos t and the x and y coordinates of points moving around the unit circle. Students have to match coordinates of points on the graph with...

Given the center and radius of a circle, determine if a point is inside of the circle, on the circle, or outside of the circle.

In this lesson plan, 7th graders determine the circumference and area of a circle.

In this lesson plan, 7th graders use their knowledge of formulas to determine the area and circumference of a circle.

In this lesson plan, 7th graders answer word problems to determine the area of a circle.

[Free Registration/Login Required] A comprehensive lesson plan for teaching how to prove that all circles are similar by using three types of transformations.

Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. Prove a method for circumscribing a circle about a triangle (as shown). You'll also learn how to create an interactive diagram to illustrate your proof, using an applet...

Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. Prove a method for inscribing a circle within a triangle (as shown). You'll also learn how to create an interactive diagram to illustrate your proof, using an applet that...

The arbelos is the white-shaded region between the three semicircles in the illustration at right. In this project, you'll prove an interesting method for determining the area of the arbelos.

Contains plans for two lessons about circular stories like those of Laura Joffe Numeroff, who is known for the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." Students read stories with circular plots as models before composing their own. In...

A printable Venn Diagram with three circles to use when comparing and contrasting three things or topics. Directions on how to use this graphic organizer as well as lists of teaching ideas and related resources are also provided.

The circle is one of four different shapes which can be created using "slices" through a cone, a 3-dimensional solid that has a circular base joined to a single point (called the vertex) by a curved side. If you tilt a cone, you get an...

Explains how resources, goods and services, and payments flow through the economy using the economic model of circular flow.

This section explores the relationship between right triangles, circles, and trigonometry. It investigates how a right triangle that is set inside a circle and rotates around the circle is connected to trigonometric functions and their...
