Creating and understanding circles and their parts
This lesson will offer a hands-on opportunity to explore and construct circles. Students will develop a definition for identifying the parts of a circle such as the center, radius, diameter, chord, and circumference. Students will use compasses and rulers in constructing these parts of a circle.
Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics)
