TOPIC = AREA OF A CIRCLE.
Aim – use the formula to
find the area of a circle .
Resources = circular
cut –out of 4 cm radius, chart , scale,
etc.

What is pi?
What is the area of a rectangle?
What is the circumference
of a circle?
What is the area of a circle?
To day we will deduce the
formula to find the area of a circle
Students were divided into
pairs. And were given circle cut out to each pair.
Questions: What did you
do? Which shape did you get after arranging the pieces?
We then arranged them to
get a parallelogram.
What is the area of
a parallelogram?
Discussion
= Are the areas of the parallelogram and circle the same? Why?
The circumference of the
circle was divided into 2 parts by
colouring the sectors in two different colour. We now the area of a
parallelogram =base ×height =π r ×r =
What about the perimeter
of the semicircle
Discussion
The area of a semicircle
is half of the area of the circle.
The perimeter of a semi circle is never half
of the circumference of the circle because in perimeter we also measure the
length of the diameter as it becomes the outer edge of the semicircle.

Pi
is a constant for all circles and its value is 22/7 or 3.14.

Principles of Learning- Fatema Razi
As
you all enter this blog you will see fascinating land full of principal of
learning. This will greatly help you all to make your teachings highly
effective. Ohhh! Wow….What we have, the one of principle of learning .”
Building of prior knowledge” In students through an activity.
Prior knowledge will help to
recall all the important information. The information from prior knowledge from
earlier grades and through our religious speeches.
In my lesson plan I had taught
about five spiritual famous personalities of our religion from that five
personalities one was chosen it was “Maulatena Fatema a.s” so this topic was
introduce in a concept map. A concept map is a map where a topic is divided
into a subtopics as the students know about the topic, the students readily
took an active involvement in the activity. There both hands and mind were
indulge in the activity.
After the activity was completed
students were thrilled. They were excited to share their descriptive ideas and
views, which were a great help in attaining knowledge. They are eagerly waiting
for such kind of activities in their other subject.
So now you all have read my blog
and know about building prior knowledge. You could really apply it in your work
and make your class exciting and really interesting.
