Solve real-world and mathematical problems using the relationship between the area of a circle and its radius.
The core standards covered in this lesson
7.G.B.4 — Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
The essential concepts students need to demonstrate or understand to achieve the lesson objective
Suggestions for teachers to help them teach this lesson
Lessons 8 and 9 focus on the relationship between a circle’s area and its radius. In Lesson 9, students will solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area. Students will solve more problems involving all measurements of circles in Lessons 10 and 11.
