This area and circumference of circles bingo game is full of word problems. Students have to find area and circumference with different measurements and sometimes in terms of pi.
Some of the questions are a little bit easier where they just have to find the diameter or radius. Each question is based off of a picture, like a guy holding 10 boxes of pizza, a dog catching a Frisbee, or a girl counting coins. I like to use this game for whole class review at the end of the unit.
This Area and Circumference Discovery Lab is one of my favorite. Discovery labs are a great way to introduce students to a topic and let them find patterns and draw conclusions. This helps them do the learning and have it more strongly anchored in their mind. This lab focuses on identifying what the differences between area and circumference.
Students will work to build their conceptual background of how circumference is one-dimensional and area is two-dimensional. For this activity students color in the area and then use wikisticks or yarn to measure the circumference. They approximate the area using squares that are on the paper. By counting the inch squares, students actually see why area is measured in square inches. This gives them a chance to really see what is happening when we talk about area and circumference.
So, I created my own set of circles that you can download here. Students get to measure the circles with a ruler and calculate different parts of the circle. You can either have the students cut the circles out, which takes them longer than it should, or they can just measure them on the paper. Also, you can have them label the circles with the different measurements or they can use a graphic organizer included in the circles download to analyze the various shapes. Mnemonics work because our brains like structure.
Many students are in the same boat. Not to mention how important things like mnemonic devices are for students who need extra support. The students who struggle with executive function and organizing information in their brain really thrive when they have a way to remember. If they can remember that, then they can keep the two formulas straight.
We use a graphic organizer dowload FREE here in our interactive notebook for this. Everyday, for a while, we practice writing the formulas on our whiteboard while saying this statement until they all have it. This paper plate activity from The Reading Buddies brings in a little bit of art and a visual activity to your classroom.
Students struggle sometimes to remember the parts of the circle. Creating their own colorful circle can help them remember. This activity walks through how to use paper plates to review the vocabulary and formulas we use when talking about area and circumference of a circle.
Also, you can have students share their plates with other people and get some math talk going. The blog post where I got this idea used this activity for Pi Day and has them decorate the plates like a pie. Numbers in the City Find all the numbers hidden in the city.
