    Lesson Plan Circle Theorems

    Uploaded by

    Jonathan Robinson
    This lesson plan aims to teach students about circle theorems. Students will discover relationships between angles in circles and cyclic quadrilaterals through constructing their own diagrams. They will identify three key theorems and apply them to calculate unknown angles. More able students may prove the theorems algebraically, while less able students may focus on one or two theorems per lesson. The lesson incorporates partner work, whiteboard demonstrations, and Geogebra files for reinforcement.

    Lesson Planning Sheet Title: Circle Theorems Learning Objectives: By the end of the lesson: All students should be able to discover the relationships between the angles at the centre and circumference of a circle, opposite angles in cyclic quadrilaterals and angles at the circumference in the same segment. Most students should be able to discover the three theorems and apply them individually to calculate missing angles. Some students should be able to discover and apply the three properties and apply them to calculate angles involving multiple theorems. Key words: Segment, Radius, Diameter, Circumference, Cyclic Quadrilateral Learning Activities Starter/Introduction Students read the text at the top of the second slide then sketch their interpretation of the instructions on mini-whiteboards. This will enable the teacher to asses the students understanding of the vocabulary so that feedback can be given. Move on to the exemplar diagrams when appropriate so that students have a clearer idea. It is important that the students construct and measure their own diagrams relating to the theorems so that they are able to take ownership of the geometrical property rather than simply accepting it to be true. Students use a pair of compasses, straight edge and protractor to construct and measure the diagrams similar to those on the second slide to discover that the radius and tangent are perpendicular at the circumference of the circle. Use a similar approach for each of the remaining two theorems. Use the interactive Geogebra files for additional demonstrations. YouTube Proofs Development Once the class have recognised the three properties encourage them to refine their description using the appropriate mathematical vocabulary. Students then begin to apply these theorems using the problems provided on the fourth slide. The class could work through the first few problems in pairs, showing their working on mini-whiteboard. Emphasise the need to break the problems down by determining one angle at time using the appropriate theorem. When ready, the class should be encouraged to work independently. Have students come to the front of to demonstrate their solutions throughout the lesson so to maintain pace. Plenary The problem on the final slide is intended to cover each of the theorems covered in the lesson. Students should sketch the diagram on mini-whiteboards and include all their working out. Encourage students to work in pairs so that they are able to question each others understanding of how to apply the different theorems. Differentiation More able: Students could prove each angle theorem algebraically using various other angle properties. Less Able It may be necessary for students to discover and apply one or two theorems in one lesson and move on to the remaining theorems in the next. The diagrams could be drawn for the students and they measure the associated angles. Resources: Pairs of compasses Rulers Pencils, Protractors Calculators Mini-whiteboard Interactive Geogebra Files
