EXTERIOR:The set of all points of its plane whose distance from its centre is greater than the length of its radius

Learning objectives

The student needs to understand that any points on the planar surface of the circle within its circumference are said to be interior points and points on the outside of circumference are said to be its exterior points.

Notes for teachers

This knowledge is important to understand secant and tangent to the circle.

Activity No #1

'A game of tiger and goat.'
Draw a circle on the playground. Make children stand on its circumference. Call one student inside the circle to be a goat and other student on the exterior would be the tiger. The tiger tries to get into the circle interior to catch the goat. All other students on the circumference defend the entry of tiger . If tiger forces itself inside, the goat is let out . If the tiger succeeds in catching the goat , the student enacting goat becomes out. Next two more students come forward to be the next goat and tiger and hence the game continues.
