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.
