Introducing pi
Lesson presentations and activities
A lesson which begins with pupils discovering Pi through measuring circular objects. I have uploaded the worksheet with the examples of objects I used and space for an additional cylinder. This then leads into finding the circumference and area of a circle.

great resource, thanks
Practice questions, homeworks and assessments
I designed this worksheet to help pupils to discover Pi, and prove it is not a randomly generated number. It also helps pupil to understand how accuracy can affect results. You will need to provide your pupils with string. The largest circles circumference is 23.56cm. I have used this across both KS3 & KS4, and they have all enjoyed it and found it a good lead into circumference and area of circles. I welcome any feedback on this activity.
