Circles resources

Students calculate the distance travelled by the tips of the hands on a clock, and calculate the speed of one of the tips.

Students use a diagram of, and information about oranges packed in a cylinder to calculate height, area and volume.

Students calculate circumference, circular and square area of a road sign.

Students are required to identify right angles in a series of diagrams, using their knowledge of angle properties relating to circles and tangents.

Students use the angle between a tangent and a radius property and the base angles in an isosceles triangle property to find an unknown angle and to explain why line segments are of equal size.

Students use the angle-in-a-semicircle property, and the sum of the angles in a triangle to find unknown angles.

Students use their knowledge of the angle between a tangent and radius property and the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral to work out unknown angles in a diagram and explain their workings.

In this practical task, students work in small groups to present a dance based on geometric concepts.

Students identify the parts of a circle that lines on familiar signs and objects make.

Students use the given the radius to draw each circle on a bulls-eye target.

Students write short paragraphs using geometrical terms to describe two pictures. The terms equilateral, scalene, and isosceles are to be used to describe a castle. The words circumference, diameter, and radius are to be used to describe a bicycle.

Students calculate the size of marked angles using their knowledge of angle properties: the angle between a tangent and a radius, the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of angles in a quadrilateral.

Students calculate the lengths of circles and straight lines on an oval athletics track from its given radius and total length, and show their working.

This task is about finding the circumference of a circle using two different radius measurements.

Students answer questions about a ball travelling a number of full circles in a game of swing ball.

Students use known diameters of tins to work out the floor area of a carton and a given number of tins.

Students calculate area of colours and the perimeter of a flag.
