Learning Objective

I can draw a circle and identify circles in different objects.

  • 1

    To doodle a perfect circle, make a circular motion with your arm, not your wrist.

  • 2

    The distance from the center of the circle to its outer rim is called the radius, and the distance across the circle through the center is the diameter.

  • 3

    The distance all around the edge of the circle is the circumference, and the amount of space the circle takes up is the area.
