===Notes for teachers===
−The teacher should clarify the meaning of chord and circle to the students
+A chord is a straight line joining 2 points on the circumference of a circle. Chords within a circle can be related many ways. The theorems that involve chords of a circle are :
+Perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of a circle.
+Congruent chords are equidistant from the center of a circle.
+If two chords in a circle are congruent, then their intercepted arcs are congruent.
+If two chords in a circle are congruent, then they determine two central angles that are congruent.

−*Process/ Developmental Questions
+*Process:
−#what is a chord?
+# Show the children the geogebra file.
−#The folded line connected from where to where?
+# Let them identify the chord. Ask them to define a chord.
−#How many chords can be drawn in a circle?
+# perpendicular bisector.
+# Show them the 2nd chord.
+# Let students observe if everytime the perpendicular bisector of the chord passes through the centre of the circle.
+*Developmental Questions:
+# What is a chord ?
+# At how many points on the circumference does the chord touch a circle .
+# What is a bisector ?
+# What is a perpendicular bisector ?
+# In each case the perpendicular bisector passes through which point ?
+# Can anyone explain why does the perpendicular bisector always passes through the centre of the circle ?
+*Evaluation
*Evaluation
−#was the effect of chord in a circle?
+# What is the angle formed at the point of intersection of chord and radius ?
−#Was the student able to give the meaning of chord?
+# Are the students able to understand what a perpendicular bisector is ?
−# Are the students realising that perpendicular bisector drawn for any length of chords for any circle always passes through the center of the circle .
−*Question Corner
+*Question Corner:
−#how many chords can be drawn in a circle?
+# What do you infer ?
−#What happens to the size of the chord if it moves away from the centre?
+# How can you reason that the perpendicular bisector for any length of chord always passes through the centre of the circle.
