This resource contains six activities for use in the classroom when exploring the properties of circles.

The Circle: Contains a variety of questions requiring students to calculate the circumference and the area of circles. Given values for the diameter or radius of the circle. The second...

These 15 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, require students to perform a practical experiment in order to estimate a value for pi, describe a circle over the phone, find a connection between the length of the radius of a circle...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Circles and Cylinders covers, an introduction to circles, naming the different parts of a circle, estimating the circumference of a circle, eatimating the area of a circle,...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Magnetism and electricity’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included eight worksheets to supplement...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to develop understanding of two conceptual approaches to environmental issues - the linear economy and the circular economy - in the context of the design and operation of a new...

This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘circumference of a circle’. Resources comprise:

• Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem

• Act Two:...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is about connecting the unconnected, and it is growing rapidly. It uses sensor-equipped physical computing devices, connected through wired and wireless networks and the internet. The IoT has many uses, include the...
