# The students should be able to understand that a diameter divides the circle into two equal halves and each such half is a semicircle or hemicircle.

* The student should be able to understand that a diameter divides the circle into two equal halves and each such half is a semicircle or hemicircle.<br>
+
# The students learn how to form a semicircle by joining any two points on the circumference through its centre i.e. by drawing a diameter.
