60-second Quick Read
- solve problems involving the circumference and area of a circle using formulas and appropriate units
- Example: deducing that the area of a circle is between 2 radius squares and 4 radius squares, and using 3\timesradius^2 as a rough estimate for the area of a circle
- Common trap: investigating the area of circles using a square grid or by rearranging a circle divided into smaller and smaller sectors or slices to resemble a close approximation of a…
