solve problems involving the circumference and area of a circle using formulas and appropriate units
Elaborations
-
deducing that the area of a circle is between 2 radius squares and 4 radius squares, and using 3 × radius2 as a rough estimate for the area of a circle
-
investigating the area of circles using a square grid or by rearranging a circle divided into smaller and smaller sectors or slices to resemble a close approximation of a rectangle
-
applying the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle to solve practical problems, and using one of the measures of radius, diameter, circumference or area to deduce the value of the other measures; for example, determining the length of material needed to edge a round table, given its dimensions as the area of the tabletop
-
exploring traditional weaving designs by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and investigating the significance and use of circles
