Activity 1

Activity 1. Circles Everywhere

Purpose :

1. Identify/ name objects found inside or outside the classroom which are
circular in shapes.
2. Determine the radii, diameters, circumferences and areas of the given
objects which are circular in shapes.

Materials:
Tape measure/meter stick/ruler

marking pen

Manila paper

masking tape

Procedures:
1. Form a group with at most five members.
2. Find at least 5 objects inside or outside the classroom which are
circular in shapes, then measure each of their radius, diameter,
circumference and area.
3. Write answers on a manila paper using the table below.

How did you know that the object is a circle?

How is the radius related to diameter? diameter to radius?
How did you get the circumference of the object? How about its
What are the usages of these objects?
How important are these objects to us?

Activity 3 Central Angles and Arcs

Concepts:
1.If the measures of the minor arcs in a circle are equal, then the measures of their
central angles are also equal.
Or the converse of this statement, If two central angles in a circle have equal measures,
then their minor arcs have equal measures too.
2. In a circle, if two minor arcs are equal, then their corresponding chords are
congruent.
Objectives:
1. To determine measures of central angles using the manipulative circular device.
2. To construct central angles using the manipulative circular device given their
measures.
Procedures:
1. Work in groups of 3-5 members. Use the manipulative circular device.
2. Attach the acetate protractor at the center of the circle using push pin.
3. Join the center and one push pin on the circumference with a string. Join the
center and the push pin adjacent to the first as shown in the drawing. How many
degrees are in the angle made by the string?
Since there are 36 equal intervals on the circumference and a complete
rotation is 360 ,then 1/36 of 360 = 10

B. Give the measures of the central angles shown below:

C. Using the manipulative circular device construct central angles having

the following measures:
a. 30
b. 120 c. 230
d. 300
e. 330
Determine the measure of each intercepted arc.
D. Make a general statement about your findings.
Activity 4 Inscribed Angles and Arcs

Concepts:
1. The measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.
2. Inscribed angles that intercept the same (or congruent) arc are congruent.
3. An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.
4. Opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are supplementary.
Objectives:
Procedures:
1. Work in groups of 3-5 members. Use the manipulative circular device.
2. Attach the acetate protractor at the center of the circle using push pin.
3. Join the center and one push pin on the circumference with a string. Join the
center and the push pin adjacent to the first as shown in the drawing. How many
degrees are in the angle made by the string?
Since there are 36 equal intervals on the circumference and a complete
rotation is 360 ,then 1/36 of 360 = 10
