 Game: What am I?
Directions: Using show-me board. Unscramble the
letter to name the following:

• I am a closed curved shape

that is composed of a set of
points equidistant from a
fixed point called center. CIRCLE
CCRILE
• I am a straight
line passing
through the
center of a
circle.
DIAMETER
TEREMDIA
• I am a line
segment from the RADIUS
center to any point
on the circle. I am
half of a diameter.

IUSRAD
• My constant
PI
value is 3.14.

IP
• I am the
distance
around the
circle.
CIRCUMFERENCE
CURCIMENCEREFE
• I am the number
of square units
covering a given
plane figure.

AERA AREA
 GROUP ACTIVITY
Mechanics
1. Complete the circular puzzle.
2. Trace the given circular puzzle in the
graphing paper.
3. Shade the circle. Count and write the
number of shaded squares covering the
circle.
4. The first group who finish
will clap their hands three
times and shout the name of
the group (the name of the
group depends on the figure
they formed from the puzzle).
5. The winner will be given a
reward and a consolation to
the other group.
 A street sweeper is
working on his area
when he noticed an open
manhole. For the safety
of the pedestrian, he
know that he must find a
cover for the manhole.
 He found an old manhole
cover in their stock room
that has a top surface area
of 3000 square centimeter. If
the diameter of the open
manhole is 60centimeter,
would the old manhole
cover be useful?
1. What is asked in the
problem?
• Would the old manhole cover
be useful?
2. What are the given facts?
• 3000 sq. cm surface area of the
manhole cover,
• 60cm diameter of the open manhole
• and pi with a constant value of 3.14
3.What is the formula?
•A = πr2
4. Solve
A = πr2
r=d/2 r = 30cm
r2 = 30cm x 30cm
r2 = 900cm2
π = 3.14
A = 3.14 x 900cm2
A = 2826 cm2
Area of cover – area of manhole
3000 cm2 - 2826cm2
=174cm2
Would the old manhole cover be useful?

The manhole cover will be useful to

cover the open manhole.

• Yes, but he must find another cover that

will exactly fit the open manhole.
 Group Activity. Each group will be given a
problem. Then find the area of the given problem.
After finding the area report your work in front.
• Group 1. A candy machine
creates small chocolate
wafers in the shape of
circular discs. The diameter
of each wafer is 16mm. What
is the area of the chocolate
disc?
• Group 2. If the minute
hand is 4 inches, find the
area of the whole circle?

Group 3. A revolving water

sprinkler sprays water in all
direction to a distance of 5
feet. What area does it
cover?
• Group 4. A circle is cut out of a
piece of plywood that is 10inches
square what area does it cover?
Find the area of each circle with the
given radius or diameter. Use 3.14
for π.
1.r=8cm A= cm 2

2.r=20cm A= cm 2

3.d=6cm A= cm 2
•What is the formula in
finding the area of a
circle?

A = πr 2
