This Arcs and Angles lesson plan also includes:
  • Worksheet
  • Answer Key
  • Join to access all included materials

Noah didn't construct this kind of arc. High school scholars first explore how angles can be formed in circles. They then learn relationships between angles and arcs by conducting an exploratory activity where they position and draw arcs of various sizes on a circle.
