Circle Geometry approached Step by Step

concentric circles
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 irrational numbers - Pi. Hopefully, by the time you have completed this section your child will not fear Pi, but embrace its 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 lable 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.
STEP 1:
Know the Circles Construction.

Sector

Arc


When your child is comfortable with labling the circle, and knowing what each part is, then it is time to whip out some of our trusty printable math worksheets! Practice makes perfect.
