Learning Circle using Geo Gebra

Shalini, student from 7^th grade learned about circle in her textbook. She was learning the topics on chord, diameter, circumference and ratio between circumference and diameter.

• She used Geo Board(Montessori material) to learn these topics

• The Geoboard is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Learners stretch bands around pegs to form line segments and polygons and find perimeter, area and more.

Outcomes / What she knows now and is able to do 

• Chord is a line segment drawn at any two points in a circle.
• Diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle.
• Circumference is the perimeter of the circle.
• She is able to find the ratio(which is 3.14(pi)) if she either knows the circumference of the circle or the diameter.
• She is now able to use the geo board and demonstrate the above topics to her friends.
