Discovering the Area of a Circle Activity
I give each student one half sheet with the instructions and 2 circles. The instructions advise the students to cut out the left circle into 8 sectors and shape their sectors into a parallelogram. Before the next step, we discuss as a class what the formula is for finding the area of a parallelogram and how we can use that to derive the formula for the area of a circle. My 7th graders usually spend about 20 minutes on this activity. They will need prior knowledge of the circumference formulas an

Importance of learning math skills
It's no secret that mathematics is one of the foundational subjects that students need to learn. Math forms the basis for so many other subjects — like science, engineering, and technology — and because of that, it's essential that students develop strong math skills starting from a very young age.
Benefits of learning math
Learning math has many benefits. It helps students:
- Begin to develop problem-solving, logical reasoning, and critical-thinking skills
- Grow their understanding of numbers and basic operations
- Understand how math is used in real-life situations
By ensuring that students have a solid foundation, teachers can help set them up for future success.
