Circle geometry can do one of two things to a child. Excite them (if they understand it) or terrify them because they have to use one of their first unusual numbers - Pi. Hopefully, by the time you have completed this section your child will not fear Pi, but embrace it's power, and love a little more complicated geometry!
To fully grasp the concepts of circle geometry, your child should have a strong understanding of what area and perimeter are. If this is the case, the first step to understanding the circle is to be able to label and KNOW what each part of the circle is. If you have any problems remembering the definitions of these terms, feel free to pop over to the online geometry dictionary section, where you can access all the information you need.
