Learning Map Where we’re up to

Parts of a circle

Your child can name the parts of a circle — the radius, the diameter, and the distance around the edge. The diameter is twice the radius.

In curriculum terms

Illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter, and circumference; know that the diameter is twice the radius

How to tell they’ve got it

Tick these off as you see them — no test required.

Try this together

If you give your child a round plate and a ruler, can they measure the diameter — and explain how the radius compares to the diameter?
