Marking radius and diameter
Objectives
- Radius is a straight line joining centre of a circle to any point on the circumference.
- Ability to learn the use of compass.
- Skill of drawing the circle accurately.
Estimated Time
20 minutes
Prerequisites/Instructions, prior preparations, if any
Materials/ Resources needed
Different coloured papers, compass, scale, pencil and scissors.
Process (How to do the activity)
Instructions to the teacher:
- The teacher distributes the paper to the students.
- Shows them how to use compass and draw a circle.
- Ask every student to make 2 equal parts by folding.
- What happens if it is folded again to get equal parts?
- Ask the students to identify the folded lines/marks
Instructions to the student:
- Draw a circle of given radius.
- Cut out the circle.
- Fold the circle into two equal halves.
- Again fold into further equal halves.
- Observe and mark the folded line.
- Identity the diameter and radius.
- Evaluation
- Was the student successful in marking radius and diameter?
- Was the student successful in folding and marking?
- Was the student able to relate radius and diameter.
- Question Corner
- How many such radii and diameters can be drawn to a given circle?
