This document provides a self-learning module on circles for 6th grade math students. It introduces the key elements of circles like radius, diameter, arc, and circumference. Students learn to draw circles using a compass, identify the center, and measure radii, diameters, circumferences and their relationships. Pictures are provided for students to label circle elements correctly and understand concepts like chords, arcs, semicircles through visuals. The module aims to teach students about circles through interactive exercises and self-evaluation.

Circle And Its Elements
Class VI
Previous Knowledge:-
(1) Students have studied maths up to class V.
(2) They recognize the photographs.
(3) They recognize the circular shapes in the picture.
Objectives:-
(1) Students will know about the elements of the circle like radius of
the circle, centre, diameter, arc, and circumference of the circle.
(2) Students will know about the relation between the above elements.
(3) By measuring the pictures they will be able to use the relations
between the above given elements.
Material Required:-
Photographs, compass, scale, etc with the help of these, elements of
the circle will be taught and by measuring them their relations can be
find out .

6. Students are taught: Radius of the circle.
vi

7. Students draw the radius of the circle according to the picture.
7. Students are taught that radii of a circle are equal.
vii

8. Students draw more than one radius, measure them and find they are equal.
8. Students are taught: Diameter of the circle and relation between diameter and
radius of the circle.
viii

9. According to the picture students:-i. Draw the diameter of the circle. ii. They measure
the diameter and radius of the circle and find it is double the radius. iii. Radius is half
of the diameter.
9. Students are taught: Chord of the circle and also told that diameter is the largest
chord of the circle.
ix

10. According to the picture students i. Draw the chords of the circle. ii. Measure the
diameter of the circle and find that it the largest chord of the circle.
10. Students are taught: Arc of the circle.
According to the picture students i. Make arc of the circle. ii. They understand the
major and minor arc of the circle.
x

11. 11. Students are taught: Semicircle.
According to the picture i. Students draw the semicircle. ii. They know that semicircle
is also arc.
xi

12. 12. Students are taught: Circumference of the circle and also told how to measure the
circumference of the circle.
According to the picture students i. Understand the circumference of the circle. They
measure the circumference with the help of thread.
xii

13. 13. Students are taught: Relation between the circumference and diameter of the circle.
According to the picture students: - i. Measure the circumference of the circle. ii. They
also measure the diameter of the circle. iii. They find that circumference of the circle is
more that the thrice of the diameter.
