Introductionm2c552851182798be_1528450127855_0Introduction

Students bring round, flat objects (for example lids, plates, rings).

Their first task is to divide the objects into groups, depending on their mutual characteristics (they should disregard the size of objects).

The result of the classification should be distinguishing between round, ‘full’ objects and round ‘empty inside’ objects.

Procedurem2c552851182798be_1528446435040_0Procedure

The teacher informs students that objects which belong to the first group are in the shape of circles and those which belong to the second group are in shape of circumferences. Then, using the compass, the teacher draws on the board the circumferencecircumferencecircumference and the circlecirclecircle (that is a circumference with shadowed part of the planeplaneplane-board).

Discussion: how do define the circumferencecircumferencecircumference and the circlecirclecircle?

Conclusion

circumferencecircumferencecircumference whose centre is pointpointpoint S and the radiusradiusradius is r is a collection of all points of the planeplaneplane whose distance from the centre S is equal to r.

[Illustration 1]

circlecirclecircle whose centre is pointpointpoint S and the radius is r is a collection of all points of the planeplaneplane whose distance from the centre S is smaller than or equal to r.

[Illustration 2]

Based on the definitions and the exercises done in the beginning of the class, the students arrive at the following conclusions:

- the centre of the circlecentre of the circlecentre of the circle belongs to the circlecirclecircle, the centre of the circumferencecircumferencecircumference does not belong to the circumference;

- the radiusradiusradius of the circlecirclecircle is located entirly within the circlecirclecircle, while only one end of the radiusradiusradius belongs to the circlecirclecircle.

Task

Students work individually, using computers. Their task is to locate points on the planeplaneplane, according the conditions given in the applet.

[Geogebra applet]

Students identify parts of the circlecirclecircle in the drawing and draw the conclusion.

[Illustration 3]

The radiusradiusradius of the circumferencecircumferencecircumference is the line segment connecting the centre with a pointpointpoint located on the circumference, i.e the line segment SD.

The chordchordchord of the circumferencecircumferencecircumference – the line segment connecting two points located on the circumference, i.e. the line segment BC.

The diameterdiameterdiameter of the circumferencecircumferencecircumference – the line segment connecting two points located on the circumference, going through the centre of the circumference, i.e. the line segment EF.

Conclusionsm2c552851182798be_1527752256679_0Conclusions

The diameter is the longest chord.m2c552851182798be_1527752256679_0The diameter is the longest chord.

The diameter is twice as long as the radius.m2c552851182798be_1527752256679_0The diameter is twice as long as the radius.

Task

Students draw a circumference whose radius is 4 cm. They mark points A, B, C and D in such a way that point A is the centre of the circumference, the line segment AB is the radius, the line segment BC is the diameter and the line segment CD is the chord.m2c552851182798be_1527752263647_0Students draw a circumference whose radius is 4 cm. They mark points A, B, C and D in such a way that point A is the centre of the circumference, the line segment AB is the radius, the line segment BC is the diameter and the line segment CD is the chord.

Task

Students draw the circumferencecircumferencecircumference whose diameterdiameterdiameter is 8 cm on one piece of paper and a circlecirclecircle whose radiusradiusradius is 5 cm on another. With green colour they mark the points of the planeplaneplane (piece of paper) that do not belong to the circumferencecircumferencecircumference and the circle, respectively.

Task

Students draw the line segment KL and point S that is not located on the line segment. Their task is to draw a circle whose centre is point S and the radius is the line segment KL.

An extra task

Students draw the line segment MN and points A and B located on the line segment. Their task is to draw:

a) a circlecirclecircle whose centre is pointpointpoint A and the diameterdiameterdiameter is MB,

b) a circumferencecircumferencecircumference whose centre is pointpointpoint B and the radiusradiusradius is MN.

Lesson summarym2c552851182798be_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Students do the revision exercises. Then together they sum‑up the classes, by formulating the conclusions to memorise.
