Circle Investigations
This list of resources are the examples of the resources covering the topic of circles on the resource collection.
Circles and Cylinders
There are a number of files in this resource. The main text book has a good selection of standard questions with the extra questions being more challenging. I particularly like the activities sheet. Activity 3, window design is my favourite. I remove the opening sentence, and the questions. I then discuss with the students what they can tell be without doing any calculations. We proceed to calculate the proportion of coloured to plain glass sin each window. I only suggest measurements to groups who require this scaffolding. Other activities include the running track activity.
