A 30-slide interactive Year 6 lesson on parts of a circle, covering radius, diameter and circumference, with drag-and-drop labelling and real-life measurement problems.
One-time purchase. Instant digital download.
This Year 6 circles lesson takes pupils from recognising the basic features of a circle — centre, radius, diameter and circumference — through to using the relationship between radius and diameter in calculations and reasoning problems.
Across 30 interactive slides, pupils identify and label these parts on circle diagrams using drag-and-drop activities, then practise finding a diameter from a given radius and a radius from a given diameter. Measurement questions move between millimetres, centimetres and metres, and real-life contexts — coins, pizzas, and other circular objects — give the maths a practical grounding.
The lesson builds in difficulty through multi-step reasoning and problem-solving activities, with multiple-choice, true-or-false and fill-in question types marked automatically and instant feedback at every stage.
These are foundational KS2 geometry skills that prepare pupils for KS3 work on circumference, area and circle theorems, where understanding of radius, diameter and their relationship is assumed.
The lesson is interactive and self-marking throughout, with an end-of-lesson score and retry option, making it suitable for whole-class teaching, independent practice, revision, intervention or home learning.
