Circles

Things you need for today:

• A working mind (I know that's a lot to ask at this point in the year, but try your best)

• your Hold My Thinking sheet

• Think about a circle again

• This time, try to move away from the dictionary definition you've grown to attached to

• Make this circle more personal to you

Sketch your circle as you imagine it

Do this on your Hold My Thinking sheet

Make a straight line through your circle

Anywhere through your circle

Erase only the parts of the line that stick out from your circle

Keep any parts touching the outline or what's inside.

Just erase the sticky-outy bits

The segment you just drew is called a chord

Define chord for yourself on your sheet

Multiple Select

Based on your definition of chord, which of the following are examples of chords?

Did these examples follow your definition of what a chord is?

• If "yes", that's great

• If "not yet", then sketch an example of one off to the side and see how you can expand your definition and understanding

Open Ended

What are at least 2 things you notice about the image of your circle now? [remember that hitting the 'enter' key submits your answer rather than adding a new line of text]

A central angle is created using two radii, draw an example of this for yourself

Does your central angle look similar to any of these?
