We have been learning about the properties of circles. First  we folded circles into quarters to identify the mid point, we then  measured the diameter, radius and circumference using rulers and string. We discussed the results and identified that the diameter is double the size of the radius and the circumference is approximately 3 times the diameter. Next we practiced drawing circles of varying sizes using a compass and again measured the circles to  test  the       rules, D=2R,  R= 1/2 D and C= approx 3 D.

We will use these skills to create a scaled down drawing of the solar system.
