Concept 2 CONSTRUCTION OF CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL
Learning objectives
The students should be able to: Recall the meaning and construction of circle Recall the meaning and construction of qudrilateral Recall the angles formed inside the qudrilateral
Notes for teachers
The teacher should clarify the meaning of cyclic qudrilaterals.
Activity No 1
This is a class room individual activity
- Estimated Time
10-15 minutes
- Materials/ Resources needed
circular shaped bangles long thin stiks cutter geometrical instuments pen and pencil geoboard
- Prerequisites/Instructions, if any
Instructions for teacher:
The teacher should give some hints to childrens about the activity. In that guide students to cut the sticks to fit suitably inside the bangle like a quadrilateral
Instructions to the student:
Take four sticks and make a qudrilateral which fit suitably inside the bangle and make sure that all vertices of quadrilateral should lie on the circumferance of the bangle

- Process/ Developmental Questions
Can you identify how many angles formed inside the quadrilateral? Is it possible to fit all types of qudrilaterls inside the circle? Wht you call the qudrilateral whose vertices laying on the circumferance of the circle? Measure the angle formed inside the cyclic quadrilateral and tell your observations?
- Evaluation
1. what are charActeristics of cyclic qudrilaterals ? 2. What is the sum of opposite angles formed inside the cyclic quadrilaterals?
- Question Corner
1. how many elements required to construct cyclic qudrilateral 2. when you are given four sides is it possible to construct a cyclic quadrilateral
