- 10-20mins
Scroll down for a new version of dingbat in challenge 4 and you'll see the symbol used for 3.14! Anyone know its name?
P.S. A PIZZA SLICE IS A SECTOR OF A CIRCLE!
We are moving onto measuring the circumference today. You'll remember that the circumference is the distance of the circle's edge. It's a special type of perimeter. If this circle was opened up and straightened, the circumference would be the length of it. Look at the second picture, the length of the string (circumference) measures just over three times the diameter. 3.14 to be precise!
So a very important Maths rule now exists =
CIRCUMFERENCE = DIAMETER X 3.14
SO....
DIAMETER = CIRCUMFERENCE ÷ 3.14
AND REMEMBER...
RADIUS X 2 = DIAMETER
Challenge 2: Physical Challenge of the Day!
Staying physically active is so important for everyone right now. One suggestion here talks about stretching in the morning. It's something I have started lately and I think it leads to a positive, growth mindset. Give it a go starting today!
