Middle and high schoolers listen to a scenario about a puppy and use the scenario to develop formulas in order to find the area of a circle. In this circumference lesson, pupils understand how to find the radius, diameter, area of a...

Bring your math class around with this task. Learners simply identify parts of a given circle, compute its radius, and estimate the circumference and area. It is a strong scaffolding exercise in preparation for applying the formulas for...

Students understand where the number for pi comes from. They understand and use the formula for circumference. Students measure the circles given out and the diameters of those circles and record the results on their worksheet.

In this geometry worksheet, pupils solve 10 problems regarding area, scale factors, and circumference. Students, in 3 of the problems, are given the circumference and asked to work backwards to find missing information.

Students calculate the area and circumference of a circle as the lesson is presented through an animated Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. They then complete a project to review the previous day's material.

Students explore pi. In this circle measurement lesson plan, students define and identify radius, diameter, circumference, and perimeter. Students work in groups to measure several plastic lids and record their findings. Students compare...

Seventh graders measure the diameter, circumference and radius of a circle and find pi using the diameter and circumference. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in groups to find the diameter, radius, and circumference of circles....

Students explore circumferences, diameters, and radii. In this math lesson plan, students measure circumferences in inches and compute radii and diameters, given different circumferences.

In this circle worksheet, learners use a drawing of a circle. The diameter is given. Students find the radius, circumference and area of the circle. On the second problem, learners are shown a circle with a hole inside it. They compute...

Learners view two PowerPoints and practice computing the area and circumference of circles. They must use given formulas to make their computations. The lesson includes links to both PowerPoints as well as a worksheet (with answer key).

Students understand the definitions for perimeter and circumference and know the difference. They then go over sample problems as a class. Students use drill and practice skills to complete activity pages.

Young scholars develop an understanding of pi and the relationship between the diameter, radius and circumference. After a lecture/demo, students use construction paper and a compass to solve problems using diameter, radius and...

Sixth graders will determine the circumference, diameter, and radius of a circle. In this circle lesson plan, 6th graders will measure the appropriate amount to find these measurements on circles.

Sixth graders discover what circumference is.  In this measurement lesson, 6th graders identify the radius and diameter of different circles. Students discover how to find the area of a circle using the radius and diameter.

In this circle worksheet, students solve problems involving the circumference, area and arc length in a circle. They explore the union of circles and semicircles, as well as the line segments tangent to the circle. This two-page...

Students consider perimeter and circumference. For this lesson on perimeter, students will determine relationships between perimeter and circumference using real life examples.

Pupils identify the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

Students work with circles, angles and estimating angles in the night sky. In this circles and angles activity, students practice measuring a degree using the circumference of a circle and apply the degree to determine a way to use their...

Sixth graders measure circumference and diameter to the nearest eighth of an inch, record measurements on a spreadsheet, and use the internet to complete a "scavenger hunt" of facts concerning pi.

Students calculate the revolution and circumference of circles. In this calculus lesson, students derive the formulas for their given shape. They use the d=rt to calculate the distance and rate of travel.

Learners explore circles using a graphing calculator. In this circles lesson, students write the equation of a circle with a given center and radius length. Learners find the most appropriate model for each combination of data they...

Math pupils, by viewing a video, discover the history of pi and some of the applications of its uses in the world today. They conduct an experiment by measuring the diameter and circumference of various circular objects to calculate...

Pupils develop a definition of a circle based upon its radius in the 17th segment of a 28-part series. They determine the relationship between the radius and the diameter of a circle. To round out the lesson, they use the formula for the...

In this math worksheet, students solve 14 problems in which they calculate the diameter, radius, circumference and area of circles. There are no examples or formulas provided on this page; prior knowledge is assumed.
