Circles, Circumferences, and Compasses – Making Math Magic!

By emwadmin

I love making math as creative and fun as possible.  Playing with compasses, circles, and circumferences is naturally engaging and my students really like making their own designs.  I set up a couple of circle design centers, as well as some circumference stations and my students move through them. Here are some examples of their work:

So fun and a great set of activities to brighten up a room.  We made miniature circle patterns by first cutting small 3 inch diameter circles from cardstock, snipped each radius along the circumference and then used string to make cool string art ornaments. I have all the details at my store, so take advantage of Sunday’s Super Sale!
