• Estimated Time

20 minutes

• Materials/ Resources needed

different coloured circular cutouts

• Prerequisites/Instructions, if any
  

1. The student should have knowledge of circles.
2. The student should have skill of paper folding

• Multimedia resources
• Website interactives/ links/ / Geogebra Applets
• Process/ Developmental Questions

instructions to the teacher:
The teacher distributes the paper cut outs to all the students.
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:
fold the paper cut out as per instructions
observe and mark the folded line.
Identity the diameter and radius.

• Evaluation

1. Was the student successful in marking radius and diamter?
   
2. Was the student successful in folding and marking?
   
3. Was the student able to relate radius and diameter.
   

• Question Corner
