Untitled Worksheet
Grade Year 9
A
Fluency & Practice
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the circumference of a circle with a radius of 7 cm.
[2 marks]2.
A circle has a diameter of 20 cm. Find its circumference.
[2 marks]3.
What is the radius of a circle if its circumference is 31.4 cm? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
[2 marks]B
Problem Solving & Reasoning
Answer all questions. Show detailed working.
1.
A bike wheel has a radius of 30 cm. Calculate its circumference. Then, explain why using the diameter instead of the radius in the formula might lead to an error if students forget the relationship between diameter and radius.
[4 marks]2.
A circular garden has a circumference of 62.8 meters. Find its radius. Show your working, and consider what common mistake students might make when using the formula.
[3 marks]C
Real-world Applications
Answer all questions with clear reasoning.
1.
A circular track has a radius of 50 meters. Calculate how far a runner will travel if they complete 3 laps.
[3 marks]2.
A manufacturer designs circular tables with a radius of 1.2 meters. If a table's circumference is mistakenly calculated as 7 meters instead of the correct value, identify the error and correct it.
[4 marks]D
Challenge & Extension
Answer all questions. These are more challenging and require deeper reasoning.
1.
A circle has a circumference of 100 meters. If the radius is increased by 25%, what is the new circumference? Show your working and discuss the proportional relationship.
[4 marks]2.
Design a problem where students must determine whether a given diagram showing a radius of 8 cm and diameter of 16 cm is correct. Based on the diagram, identify and explain any misconceptions.
[4 marks]E
Mixed Review & Error Analysis
Answer all questions. Focus on accuracy and understanding common mistakes.
1.
A student calculates the circumference of a circle with radius 10 cm as 31.4 cm, claiming they used π ≈ 3.14. Is their answer correct? If not, what is the correct value? Identify if they made a mistake and explain.
[2 marks]2.
Identify and correct the mistake in calculating the circumference of a circle with radius 5 meters, where a student states the answer as 15.7 meters.
