## Lesson Activities
### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Attendance (2 minutes):**
- Welcome students and take attendance.
2. **Hook (3 minutes):**
- Display a fun fact or a short engaging video related to circles in everyday life (e.g., wheels, clocks, pizza).
3. **Objective Overview (5 minutes):**
- Briefly discuss what will be covered in the lesson and set clear expectations. Mention the importance of understanding circles in various fields like engineering, architecture, and design.
### Revision of Concepts (20 minutes)
1. **Interactive Discussion (10 minutes):**
- Engage students in a discussion to recap previous lessons on circles. Use questions like:
- What is a circle?
- Can you name the parts of a circle?
- How do we measure the radius, diameter, and circumference?
2. **Diagram Annotation (5 minutes):**
- Draw a large circle on the whiteboard.
- Label and explain the parts: radius, diameter, circumference, center, chord, and arc.
3. **Formulas and Calculations (5 minutes):**
- Write the formulas for circumference (\(C = 2 \pi r\) or \(C = \pi d\)) and area (\(A = \pi r^2\)) on the board.
- Provide a few examples and solve them with the class.
### Practice Activities (15 minutes)
1. **Worksheet Activity (10 minutes):**
- Distribute worksheets with various problems involving circles.
- Include tasks like calculating the circumference and area, labeling parts of circles, and solving word problems.
- Circulate around the room to assist students as needed.
2. **Group Activity (5 minutes):**
- Divide students into small groups.
- Provide each group with a large sheet of graph paper and ask them to draw a circle using a compass.
- Have them measure and calculate the circle's radius, diameter, circumference, and area.
