*Process/ Developmental Questions

*Process:
*Evaluation
+
# Show the students the two figures circle and square.
*Question Corner
+
# Tell them that the radius and side of square are of same measure as it would help us in deducing the formula for area of circle.
 +
# Formulas are easy ways of calculating area .
 +
# If formulas are not known then the entire area in question can be divided into small squares of 1 unit measure and can deduce the formula of the whiole.
 +
# First the number of full squares is counted.
 +
# Then two half squares would add up to 1 full square.
 +
# Ignore less than quarter . Take 3/4 as full.
 +
# Finally adding up the whole number would give us the full area of the figure in question.
 +
# Divide area of circle with that of square and deduce formula for square with known formula for square.
 +
*Developmental Questions:
 +
# Which are these two figures?
 +
# What inputs do you need to draw a circle ? And for a square ?
 +
# What do you observe as constant in the two figures ?
 +
# Do you think the size of both the figures are same ?
 +
# How do we find it ?
 +
# What is the formula to find the area of a square ?
 +
# When we do not know the formula for area, how do we deduce it ?
 +
# Count the number of squares in the entire area of circle ?
 +
# How to add half and quarter squares ?
 +
# Approximately how many total 1 unit squares cover the circle ?
 +
# So, what is the area of the circle ?
 +
# What are we trying to deduce (get) through this activity ?
 +
# Fine lets try dividing the area of circle with area of square and observe the proceedings while we try to deduce the formula for area of circle.
 +
*Evaluation;
 +
# Has the student understood the concept of area.
 +
# Was the student aligned with the assignment and was he able to follow the sequence of steps ?
 +
# Is the student able to appreciate the analogy ?
 +
*Question Corner;
 +
# What is Pi ?
 +
# What do you understand by area ?
 +
# What is the formula to find the area of square and that of a circle ?
