Area of a Circle Teacher Resources

This production, the second installment in a series of circles, demonstrates the process of finding the area of a circle. It is effective as an introductory tool. However, it needs to explain the reasoning behind the formula because that...

When mathematical errors happen, part of the learning is to figure out how it affects the rest of your calculations. The activity has your mathematicians solving for the area of a circular pipe and taking into consideration any errors...

There are basically two things you need to know to find the area of a circle. First, you need to use the correct formula. Second, you have to know the value of the radius. If you know these two things then all you have to do is plug the...

Five problems provide practice for learners to find the area of a circle given the distance of the radius. Answers on the key use pi as a variable and do not include fully computed numeric answers. To reinforce basic multiplication facts...

It really is as easy as pi. The segment of a massive geometry playlist points out that the formula for the area of a circle is a relatively simple one. Using the formula, the presenter shows examples of finding the area of circles.

Eighth graders find the circumference and diameter of several lids, show the relationship of the two measurements and derive the formula for finding the area of a circle. In this area of a circle lesson plan, 8th graders find...

Circle back and use the resource to review area. Young pupils see how to find the area of a circle given its radius or diameter. The instructive video also shows an example of how to find the radius given the area.

Introduce learners to two methods to estimate the formula for the area of a circle. The first method uses a sector of a circle to form a rectangle, and the other uses grids to estimate the area. The problems in the 18th segment of a...

Cut up a circle and make a parallelogram! What? No way! Yes way! Watch the instructor illustrate just how to cut up the circle and get that parallelogram to then get the formula for the area of a circle. It really works! Base,...

Do you know the formula to find the area of a circle? Do you know the value of pi? Do you know what the relationship is between diameter and radius? Yes? Then you can solve this problem. If your scholars don't know this formula then this...

Geometers test their mastery at finding the area of a circle with 10 basic problems. Circle diagrams show line segments, points, and diameter. Distance of radii are given. They use pi as 3.14 to calculate the area. No answer key is...

We are used to finding the area of a circle by plugging the radius into an equation. Here, learners are required to go further to find multiple areas and calculate the difference. They must detect a pattern in order to figure out the...

In this area worksheet, students use the perimeter or radius to determine the area of a circle. This one-page worksheet contains 8 problems. This worksheet may be produced in printed form. Answers may be viewed on-line.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are asked to calculate the area of a circle given the radius of the circle. There is an answer key for these 9 problems.

Trigonometry teachers often go off on a tangent, and here's a worksheet that proves it! First, young mathematicians use a formula with tangent to prove a formula correct for area. Then, they draw conclusions about the area of a circle...

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders identify the area of the four given circles by using the given diameters. There is a space for students to show their work.

Sixth graders discover what circumference is.  In this measurement lesson, 6th graders identify the radius and diameter of different circles. Students discover how to find the area of a circle using the radius and diameter.

Fifth graders experience a lesson to investigate the methods for finding the area of a circle. They use the drawing of segments in order to visualize how a circle can be proposed of many parts. Then students brainstorm in order to derive...

Students investigate the concept of area and how it can be applied to a circle. They use the right formula in order to solve different problems. The teacher leads the class through different examples and serves as a resource during...

Middle and high schoolers listen to a scenario about a puppy and use the scenario to develop formulas in order to find the area of a circle. In this circumference instructional activity, pupils understand how to find the radius,...

Farming is full of mathematics, and it provides numerous real-world examples for young mathematicians to study. Here, we look at a cylinder-shaped storage silo that has one flat side. Given certain dimensions, students need to determine...
