year 6 circles problem solving

Year 6 | Circles Worksheets

In these Year 6 circles worksheets , your pupils delve into the intricate world of circles, unravelling their properties and honing their measuring skills. The journey begins with a carefully crafted diagram of a circle, prompting children to label its three fundamental components – radius, diameter, and circumference. Subsequently, learners channel their creativity to draw circles of specific dimensions, crafting one with a diameter measuring 4cm and another with a radius spanning 2.5cm. The culmination of the exploration beckons learners to articulate the patterns discerned from their drawn circles, fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between radius and diameter.

This worksheet serves as an invaluable introduction to the properties of circles, fostering a comprehensive grasp of fundamental concepts while nurturing precision in ruler and measuring skills among your pupils.

Our Year 6 geometry: properties of shapes worksheets are created to match the KS2 national curriculum. They can be combined with your ideas and primary teaching strategies for learning activities, homework, differentiation and lesson plans.
