Circle pattern
This task is designed to assess how well students understand
The initial problems shows a black circle with radius 2r, inside of who two smaller circles of radius r are drawn. Students must show that the fraction of the diagram that is black is equal to a half.
The initial problem is altered with four...
Circles and squares
This task is designed to assess how well students understand ratio and areas.
A diagram is shows a circle with one square inside and one square outside, both just touching the circle. The first task is to work out the ratio of the areas of the two squares.
A circle is then inscribed inside of the...
