This Excel file has a series of sheets which illustrate the link between the equation of a circle and the corresponding graph. It goes on to deal with the intersection of a circle with a straight line.

The first...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spreadsheets related to the equation of the circle. The first sheets enable the student to alter the radius and centre of the circles centred at the origin and elsewhere. The program allows the student to view the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Circles and Cylinders covers, an introduction to circles, naming the different parts of a circle, estimating the circumference of a circle, eatimating the area of a circle,...

These experimental 'treatments' are conceived as possible further development in the Network mathematics series which starts with action books on particular themes, pupils' work books and link books that offer general themes. They are offered as possible examples for trial use and further development. 

A basic primary mathematics series from the late 1960s.

This task is designed to assess how well students understand ratio and areas.

A diagram is shows a circle with one square inside and one square outside, both just touching the circle. The first task is to work out the ratio of the areas of the two squares.

A circle is then inscribed inside of the...

In this activity, students are presented with a series of different sized equilateral triangles each containing a number of circles, each of radius one unit. Students are required to find the exact area of each triangle.

The activity is extended into three dimensions by considering the volume of shapes...

Produced by the Maths Magic project, Circles with Whole Number Points provides teacher inspiration for investigating equations of a circle and Pythagoras’ theorem. The student task sheet refers to the use of Geogebra. The task consists of drawing circle, centre (0,0), radius 5 and finding all the points with...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to learn about electrical circuits in a fun and engaging manner. A variety of electrical circuits are used to make a clown with a nose that lights up and a bow tie that spins. Children use a range of...

This simulation allows students to build circuits with capacitors, inductors, resistors and AC or DC voltage sources, and investigate current and voltage.

Sample Learning Objectives include: *Build circuits from circuit diagrams. *Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take readings in circuits. *Discuss basic...

Explore how electricity flows and the effect of conductors and insulators in this whole class activity. Using balloons and a range of everyday objects children role-play parts of a circuit including: batteries, light bulbs, connecting wires, conductors and insulators.

Aimed at primary level, this activity...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Magnetism and electricity’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included eight worksheets to supplement...
