Define terminology related to a circle. Practice accuracy in measuring and then create a spreadsheet based on data collected from solving for parts of a circle. Groups can have fun analyzing their data as it relates to Pi.

Tenth graders investigate the history of Pi and how it relates to circles. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders measure the circumference of a circle and the diameter of a circle. They relate these measurements to the...

Sixth graders discover Pi.  In this discovering Pi lesson, 6th graders measure the diameter and circumference of various circular objects.  Students record their measurements in a table.  Students discuss how Pi relates to...

In this discovering Pi activity, students read about finding Pi, then find diameter and circumference of circles. Text page numbers are referenced, but no text name is given.

Students explore different size circles to discover the relationship between diameter and circumference. In this circles and Pi lesson, students construct simple parachutes using circle patterns of varying sizes. Students predict the...

Third graders work in groups of two to three with measuring tapes, finding the circumference and diameter of teacher-selected circular items. They relate circumference and diameter measurements to find pi.

Third through fifth graders discover the importance of reading and plan a service project to provide books to children. First, they read the book The Important Book and then they brainstorm about the importance of reading. Afterward,...

Students measure the circumference of an object to the nearest millimeter. They also measure the diameter. The relationship of the two measurements is taught and how the value of pi came into existence.

Tenth graders investigate the circumference and diameter of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders relate circumference to diameter. They create a scatter plot to estimate the value of pi.

Seventh graders explore the concept of volume and surface area of cylinders. In this volume and surface area of cylinders instructional activity, 7th graders break cylinders into their base shapes of a circle and a rectangle. Students...

Working as a team, students discover that the value of pi (3.1415926) is a constant and applies to all different sized circles. The team builds a basic robot and programs it to travel in a circular motion. A marker attached to the robot...
