Process (How to do the activity)
- Plot 4points on the circle; join these points to the center of the circle. Are all the parts equal?
- How many parts is the circumference divided into? Identify the part of the circumference that is the largest?
- If the segments connecting the points to the center are equal, what is it that makes the part bigger than the others?
- Establish concept of arc.
- Which of these parts the largest? How can you say it is largest? Which parameter defines the largeness?
- What do you notice about the angles made at center by the four parts of the circle. Which part of the circle has the largest angle?
- What is each part of the circle called? - Establish sector
- When will all the four parts of the circle be equal?
- What is the total angle made at the center of the circle?
