Tangent to a Circle - Scaffolded worksheet

This worksheet (with 15 questions) guides students through the process of finding the equation of a tangent to a circle. I used this with a class of grade 5/6 Higher students, who I thought would probably struggle with the topic without any support.

I’ve tried to make the worksheet gradually harder as students work their way through the questions - e.g. the y-intercept is mostly an integer, except for the final few questions.
