Circle Theorem: Cyclic Quadrilaterals — Interactive Lesson (Ages 14–16)

Still forgetting that opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral must add to 180°? This 19-slide interactive lesson gives pupils focused, self-marking practice identifying cyclic quadrilaterals and applying the opposite-angles theorem.

Mastering Cyclic Quadrilaterals in GCSE Maths

Pupils practise identifying cyclic quadrilaterals and applying the rule that opposite angles sum to 180°, building the fluency within the GCSE Maths curriculum’s circle theorems topic. Recognising a genuine cyclic quadrilateral, with all four vertices on the circle, is the first step this lesson makes sure pupils get right before applying the angle rule itself.
