Circles.
This week, we are learning the vocabulary associated with circles. The children need to know the following terms and their meanings:
Circumference: the distance around the outside of a circle
Diameter: the distance from one side of a circle to the other
Radius: the distance half way across a circle
Excellent web resources are:

https://www.mathgametime.com/videos/circle-radius-diameter-circumference-video
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvmxsbk/articles/z8c7qty
Children don't need to be able to calculate the circumference of a circle. Usually, they are given the radius and asked to calculate the diameter or vice versa.
